The Fresh Kitchen

Our Story

Our family cooked our first meal for the SOS shelter in our kitchen in November 2018. SOS Shelter is part of Portland's Transition Projects (https://www.tprojects.org/), which has delivered life-saving and life-changing assistance to some of Portland’s most vulnerable residents.

We developed a variety of healthy and nutritious menus which we were able to prepare in large quantities from our kitchen. We spread the word around to our friends and immediately received overwhelming support.

While our objective was to provide two meals per month, with the help of our friends in the Portland community we now deliver about 6 meals a month to all the shelters served by the Transition Projects. We have Food Handling instructions, Shelters addresses, directions and parking information, Intel Matching Request instructions on this site.
