What is Kitchen Coalition?

The Kitchen Coalition is a program dedicated to addressing food insecurity by partnering with local restaurants, caterers, and food banks to transform surplus ingredients into nutritious, chef-prepared meals. These meals are then distributed through trusted nonprofit organizations to individuals and families in need. By leveraging existing kitchen infrastructure and culinary expertise, the Kitchen Coalition provides fresh, high-quality meals while reducing food waste and strengthening community connections.

Volunteers Packing Food

Fighting Hunger, One Meal at a Time

At Brew Catering & Events, we believe in the power of food to bring people together, not just at events but in service to our community. That’s why we are proud to partner with the Kitchen Coalition, an initiative of the Great Plains Food Bank, to provide nutritious, chef-prepared meals to those facing food insecurity in our region.

Our Impact

Each week, our team at Brew Catering & Events prepares 1,360 meals:

 

✅ 200 Family Meals (each feeding a household of four)
✅ 560 Individual Meals

 

These meals are then distributed through local nonprofit partners, including:

  • Jeremiah Program - Helps single moms and their children

  • Head Start Program - provide meals for low-income children & their families 

  • Downtown Engagement Center - community resource hub that provides essential services for the community 

  • Community Resource and Referral Center - Helps veterans 

  • F5 Project - Help improve the lives of formerly incarcerated individuals

  • Dakota High - provide meals for low-income households 

By transforming food bank ingredients into fresh, high-quality meals, we help ensure that families and individuals in need receive nutritious food with dignity.

2025 projections:

 

✅ 10,076 Family Meals (each feeding a household of four)

✅ 29,025 Individual Meals

For an estimated total of:

✅ 69,329 People Fed

A Commitment to Community

Our role in the Kitchen Coalition goes beyond meal preparation—it’s about creating impact. With every meal we prepare, we are:

✔ Supporting local nonprofits that provide essential services to our neighbors.

✔ Delivering chef-crafted meals that are delicious, wholesome, and made with care.
