Meal Program
Chef Erin Koch
=======================
Note from the Chef...
Tim’s Kitchen benefits greatly from the donations it receives. Without the generosity of several patrons or organizations, the kitchen would face a much harder time preparing and delivering such wonderful meals. (And baked goods too!) Thank you to everyone who has donated either monetarily, or by purchasing a needed item, or hosting a fundraiser for the kitchen.
If you would like to donate to the Meal Program, I have put together a list of needed items that can be found on below or stop by the center for a copy of the full list or Top 10 needed items.
Thank you all for the continued participation in and support of Tim’s Kitchen.
Sincerely,
Chef Erin Koch
