Building a Brighter Tomorrow at 507 Main Street: Join Us in Creating Our Dream Kitchen!

As we embark on an exciting journey to our new home at 507 Main Street, our hearts are filled with anticipation for the positive impact we can achieve in this incredible space. Our vision is clear, and the first step, Phase I, begins with creating a state-of-the-art commercial kitchen.

But what does this dream kitchen entail?

Imagine a space equipped with:

  • A double oven for baking goods that warm the soul.

  • A walk-in fridge and freezer to keep our ingredients fresh and plentiful.

  • A table for 5’ griddle to serve sizzling meals straight from the heart.

  • An under-counter dishwasher to ensure everything stays spotless and ready for action.

With these professional amenities, we can revolutionize how we bring REAL food and authentic conversation to our community, regardless of their ability to pay.

Why Your Support Matters

Did you know... 

Fork Real Community Kitchen isn’t just about serving meals—it’s about serving lives. We prepare nutritious meals for foster families across our community. Supporting Phase I of our Capital Campaign means we can reach even more of these families, providing the nourishment they need in times of transition.

Our commitment doesn’t stop there. Fork Real Community Café proudly employs individuals from our local mission. This new kitchen will offer them a genuine commercial restaurant environment, enhancing their skills and paving the way for brighter futures.

And let’s not forget our delectable cheesecakes! On average, we bake and sell over 100 desserts each month. With your help, we can double that number—because who doesn’t believe the world could use more cheesecake?
