Now and again, you likely say to yourself, "I don't have cash right now to give, but I do have this extra thingamajig that is perfectly useful and I wish someone could use it." Or perhaps you would prefer to give a very specific thing to a non-profit instead of money?
For those of you of that ilk, we would like to let you know to whom you might be able to give in that way. This post's target? The needs of Life's Kitchen.
The mission of Life's Kitchen is to transform the lives of at-risk young adults by building self-sufficiency and independent living through comprehensive food service and life skills training and placement in the food service industry. They run a pretty amazing eatery on Capitol Blvd., where you can grab lunch Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and know that you are not only partaking of a thoroughly yummy lunch, but you are also helping a great organization and some pretty fabulous young adults.
Their menu changes weekly, and you might want to sign up to get it emailed to you. They also cater events, and we have to say that it's generally always of darn good quality.
The young adults in the program go through a 16-week training, and, as you might gather, cooking is something that needs ... stuff. Here are some of the items that Life's Kitchen has recently indicated would be welcome:
A Diamond elliptical steel commercial blender
New (2 yrs old or less) scanner
Black "Dickies" pants (32 x 32, 36x34, 36x30, 34x36)
Deodorant
White t-shirts (all sizes except small)
Female black pants sizes 7-12
Combination Locks
If you might be so inclined as to donate any of the items noted above, please call Kathy or Erin at 208-331-0199.
