MISSION AND VISION
We exist to serve those hungry body and soul. Our meals are open to all with a good appetite and a good attitude. We strive to serve wholesome nutritious food in a safe, warm family friendly setting.
We envision people they wanting what we have. We show them our heart when we serve them just as we would serve guests at Jesus' banquet table.
WHO DO WE SERVE?
Our guests are people who are having a hard time stretching their budgets to eat healthily. Illness, accidents, job loss, poor paying jobs, low pensions plus high cost of living deprive many individuals and families of a way to have healthy diets. Some of our guests are homeless. Other people are hungry for companionship.

By 1998 a group of folks(Feeding the Flathead), including B., started talking with Naomi and Community Kitchen about coming along side them in order to serve people more meals. The Alliance Church could not give up more use of their fellowship hall, so Feeding the Flathead found other places to serve their meals. They had their start at the old Valley Victory Church on Main street. They moved between several other places including, the Dry Been Saloon, Serendipity Street, and the old VFW upstairs. A few times they also served meals out on the street.
In 2003 Community Kitchen, and Feeding the Flathead decided to join forces. During this merger it was discovered that both ministries had chosen *Matthew 25:31-40 as the basis for their ministries. This was further confirmation that they were to merge, and by 2004 Community Kitchen-Feeding the Flathead was Ia 501c3 organization.

Community Kitchen continued to serve meals at Alliance Church, and Feeding the Flathead was blessed to serve from St. Matthews parish. Over the last 12 years we have moved between a few churches. We currently serve meals from: Central Christian Church.
All of our staffing needs are filled by volunteers. There are always people behind the scenes serving in one way or another. Some transport food, others do computer work. Impeccable volunteer bookkeepers have kept our records beyond reproach. Our kitchen co-ordination, cooking, serving and clean up staff are also all volunteers.
