Welcome to the Food Share Kitchen, where donated and rescued food is transformed into nutritious, ready-to-enjoy meals for our Market customers. Each weekday, our dedicated volunteers, led by Kitchen Manager Sally Beck, prepare soups, salads, entrées, desserts, and more for distribution in the Market. Freshly prepared items fill the Market cooler daily, providing customers with healthy, convenient options that save both time and money. For neighbors without access to a kitchen of their own, these meals offer an especially important source of nourishing, delicious food.

A customer shared with a volunteer that he recently lost 65 lbs. When asked what had changed, the customer said, “I’ve started eating the meals from the cooler, and I’ve started making soups with some of the ingredients from the Market. My diet has significantly improved because of the food I can access at Helena Food Share.”
Support The Kitchen
While 85% of the meals prepared in the Kitchen are made using donated and rescued food, we still need to purchase essential ingredients such as cooking oil, butter, and spices, along with containers and packaging for meals, soups, and salads. Your financial gift helps keep our kitchen pantry stocked and ensures we always have the supplies needed to prepare, package, and distribute nutritious meals to our neighbors.
Thank you for helping us turn rescued food into healthy meals for our community.
