About St. Mary's Food Kitchen
St Mary’s Food Kitchen has served over 4.5 million meals since its inception in 1982. It started in the basement of St Mary’s Catholic Church at 5th and Ann in Kansas City, Kansas. In 1997 it moved 6 blocks to the Willamina Gill Multi-Service Center at 645 Nebraska, to better serve its clients after St Mary’s Church was closed. It is one of several food kitchens in the metropolitan area and is also one of the largest, serving lunch to approximately 350 people every day of the year. Approximately 10% of the guests are children, 15% are homeless and most of the remaining guests are unemployed or underemployed. For some, it is the only hot meal of the day and for others it may be the only meal of the day. St Michael is one of 51 churches and 1 synagogue that have volunteered to serve the hungry at St. Mary’s Food Kitchen.
