The Knox Prairie Community Kitchen would be nothing without the support of those in this community. From the people who help before, during, and after the dinners to those who come to share a delicious meal and good company, we are so grateful and deserve to be shown off!   

If you have photos from the dinners you'd like to share on our website and Facebook page, please send them to us at volunteerkpck@mail.com.
