KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Officials with Kalamazoo-based God’s Kitchen of Michigan, a hunger-relief charity servicing Battle Creek and Kalamazoo, say donations are trickling in, but at this point are not enough to cover the cost of Christmas dinners in both cities.
Pastor William Stein, Chairman of God’s Kitchen of Michigan says they still need donations to purchase supplies for the dinners. “Food is not cheap. We pay retail for the food just like everyone else.”
In order to allow them time to plan and order food, the deadline to contribute for the Christmas dinners is Friday, December 11.
Both Christmas dinners are served in a carryout format. They are free and open to the public. There are no income, age, or identification requirements to participate.
Battle Creek’s Free Community Christmas Dinner is scheduled to be held Tuesday, December 15 from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. at First United Methodist Church, 111 E. Michigan Avenue.
The Free Kalamazoo Community Christmas Dinner is scheduled to be held December 16 from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.at the Douglass Community Association, 1000 West Paterson Street.
Donations should be mailed to God’s Kitchen of Michigan, P.O. Box 2632, Kalamazoo, Michigan 49003, one of their GoFundMe campaigns, or online at http://www.paypal.me/godskitchenofmich. Please designate where you want your donation to be applied.
