Commercial Kitchen Renovation
For close to 25 years, the commercial kitchen at Hearts has largely remained unchanged and has been preparing meals to serve those in need year after year. In turn, impacting the lives of tens of thousands of our brothers and sisters.
Originally designed specifically for the Hearts Mobile Soup Kitchen, the kitchen has become stretched to capacity and to its capabilities. As Staff and volunteers prepare meals using donated produce and other items, the kitchen's limitations are becoming evident.
We will be stepping out in faith to take on a significant kitchen renovation project that will benefit the ministry and community long into the future.
Where Your Donation Goes

OR
Choose to donate towards a specific piece of equipment to further our efforts in renovating the Hearts kitchen.
A commercial grade dishwasher will help us eliminate one of the most expensive monthly purchases of disposable aluminum meal trays that are used in our meal outreach programs.
A produce sink would allow us to adhere to the New York State Environmental Standards and allow us to ensure food safety for our staff and clients.
The pasta cooker will be able to boil twice as much pasta in a shorter amount of time while saving stove space and commercial pots and pans to cook the rest of the meal at the same time.
The 1/1,000 Challenge
A donation of $10,000 has been made to Hearts to go towards the kitchen renovation.
The anonymous donor has proposed a challenge:
"Might you consider giving 1/1,000 of $10,000, which is $10 towards the kitchen renovation?"
Want to donate more than $10 and still be apart of the challenge?
1/100 of $10,000 = $100 donation
1/10 of $10,000 = $1,000 donation
