On May 30, the Grace Communion Pikeville congregation celebrated its ninth anniversary of serving free meals to our neighbors. For several years, we offered Easter and Christmas meals to our community. But nine years ago, we sensed God was telling us to do more. We sought to understand what the “more” was, and we felt God telling us to feed people meals on a regular basis, more than twice a year. And the community kitchen was born.
We started by serving a meal at the end of each month. Over time, we adapted as we discerned the needs in our community and felt an urging by God to do more. We went from serving a meal a month to a meal a week. Then in 2020 during Covid, we began serving meals two days a week and have continued to do so.
God has made the way for us to be able to serve and provides the means to do so, often in very unexpected ways. Through the hard work of our volunteers and community partners, we serve an average of 800 meals a week.
We are truly privileged to be able to share the love of Jesus to our community through our meals. Our motto is found in Matt. 25:35 “For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat …”

Pikeville, KY, US
