The Restore & Nourish Kitchen Ministry at Riverside Community Church (in partnership with Love INC of Greater Hammond) exists to bring hope, dignity, and care to families in need through prayerful support and the thoughtful provision of essential kitchen items. We come alongside individuals and families who are starting over after loss, transition, or hardship, or who are facing financial barriers that make it difficult to meet everyday needs.
Through intentional prayer and practical generosity, we help equip home kitchens with the basic tools and supplies needed to prepare meals, gather together, and nourish one another. Our mission is not only to restore what has been lost, but to nourish hearts and homes—creating space for families to care for each other and reminding them they are seen, valued, and not alone.
We invite you to partner with us through donations of new or gently used kitchen items, as well as monetary gifts, which allow us to meet specific needs, expand our reach, and continue serving families with compassion and purpose.
This ministry offers cooking and dining equipment (no appliances).
The Restore & Nourish Kitchen Ministry provides people in need with "anything kitchen". We have on hand most of the time: dishes, silverware, pots & pans, small kitchen appliances, baking ware, cooking/baking utensils, storage containers, some decorative things like canisters, vases, serving pieces, as well as odds and ends found in a kitchen. We do our best to help Love INC clients restore or rebuild a full working kitchen.
