A Just Harvest Community Kitchen (formerly Good News Community Kitchen) is a response to hunger in the Rogers Park community of Chicago and represents a unique collaboration of religious and secular organizations in the metropolitan area. These organizations support the Kitchen financially, with in-kind donations of food and hands-on volunteer assistance.
The Kitchen began as a ministry of the Good News Community Church (UCC) in 1983 and began serving meals a few days per week in the “North of Howard” neighborhood of Rogers Park, the furthest northern border of Chicago. Today, with the help of more than thirty partnering congregations and community organizations, A Just Harvest is the highest capacity community kitchen in the metropolitan Chicago area and is the only community kitchen that serves a hot nutritious meal
