A Future Without Hunger Starts Here
At Heartland Free Grocery and Kitchen, we believe that no one should have to wonder where their next meal is coming from. By providing nutritious groceries, hot meals, and essential items, we are not just addressing food insecurity, we are restoring dignity and hope in Kansas City.
Fighting Food Insecurity with Dignity
Fighting Food Insecurity with Dignity
1 in 8 Americans (12.5%) experience food insecurity, and that rate increases to 31.6% for low-income households, even before factoring the impact of homelessness.
How We Help
Since our start in 2024, we have been providing essential items to individuals experiencing homelessness across the Kansas City metro area. We distribute approximately 60 prepackaged grocery bags each month, totaling to 5,000 to 7,000 lbs of food and essential supplies to those in need.
What We Do
Founded as a free grocery store and kitchen, we empower community members to shop and dine with dignity and self respect. We are taking a holistic approach to helping people in need by meeting them where they are and providing essential services and basic needs. From groceries to personal hygiene, to food for their pets, we strive to provide what people need.
