On Sundays we provide a meal to those in need,” said Sheila Benner, a three-year volunteer for Winter’s Kitchen. “We start feeding at 2 and go until about 3:30.”The weekly meals are organized by Winter’s Kitchen, a volunteer-run group focused on helping people through the coldest months of the year.“We’ve been serving the Flathead Valley community on the streets since 2022 during the winter from the end of October till the end of April,” said Rebecca Couture, founder of Winter’s Kitchen.Each week, volunteers bring food and supplies that are requested for that week’s meal.“It’s a giant community-based potluck every Sunday. We all just come together and each bring a need and feed the people in the Flathead,” Couture said.Organizers say their consistency continues to open many doors for those they serve.“Relationships have been easy to build. Accountability is being established. Responsibility. We’ve put serving gloves on several of our unhoused and they’ve helped us run warming huts and serve food and even cook on the barbecue,” Couture said.Looking ahead, Winter’s Kitchen plans to expand and support other outreach efforts across the Flathead Valley.“The goal is to open a commercial kitchen, Winter’s Kitchen, only serving 22 days a year. We hope to open a commercial kitchen and a 45-foot city bus and become an umbrella for other people like us,” Couture said.Winter’s Kitchen accepts monetary donations, food items, clothing and more.To find out more about Winter’s Kitchen, click here.</div></body>
