The Steve and Sara Bayard Community Kitchen

Feed More’s Steve and Sara 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.
