The Steve and Sarah Bayard Community Kitchen
Feed More’s Steve and Sarah Bayard Community Kitchen is where our highly-skilled team and dedicated volunteers prepare and cook nutritious meals for thousands of neighbors across Central Virginia. Every day, healthy meals are prepared for our Kids Cafe, Summer Kids Cafe and Meals on Wheels programs, along with several adult day programs facilities in our community.

Our homemade meals are far from the institutional approach that one might expect. Menus are planned monthly, based on the availability of fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. And we have a secret ingredient. Every meal is made and packaged with love by our staff and compassionate volunteers.
Environmentally Conscious Design

The bright, bustling Community Kitchen is LEED-certified Silver, designated by the U.S Green Building Council. The “Green Building” is a high performance structure that maximizes environmental, economic and health benefits. The Community Kitchen addition was constructed with materials obtained within 500 miles and rated at low volatile organic levels. These features will help Feed More lower maintenance costs, save energy, increase productivity and remain good stewards of our environment.
Fresh meals for Feed More’s Meals on Wheels recipients are prepared five days a week. With a focus on fresh, everything made in the Community Kitchen is from scratch. Working with local farmers, fresh produce is incorporated into just about all our meals. With the help of our volunteers, our Meals on Wheels meals are packaged up. We prepare a little bit of everything in our Community Kitchen. Thousands of pounds of produce is prepared by our volunteers each week. Nothing is done in small measures in our Community Kitchen. It’s hard not to get excited when you see all the fresh food in our Community Kitchen. When you eat good, you feel good and a healthy community benefits us all. All of our meals include a healthy balance of nutritious food. It takes a lot of teamwork to get our Meals on Wheels meals packaged up.
