Sporting Kansas City has launched Sporting Community Kitchen, partnering with City Foods and Events and Operation BBQ Relief to provide 1,000 free hot meals each weekday to residents in Greater Kansas City affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Beginning today, Sporting Community Kitchen will distribute 250 four-pack meal kits to people and families unable to work because of COVID-19, according to an announcement.
Meal packs will be available during the weekdays through online registration at https://sportingkc.formstack.com/forms/community_kitchen, with curbside pickup at Children’s Mercy Park during designated times, according to the announcement.
Prepared by Plowboys Barbeque, meal packs will include a rotating barbecue entrée, two sides and bread for four people.
Sporting Community Kitchen meal registration will open at 8 a.m. on weekdays and remain open until all 250 slots are filled. Curbside pickup will take place outside of the Budweiser Brew House — located at the northeast corner of Children’s Mercy Park along France Family Drive — from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. throughout the week. Individuals must register online in advance to receive a specific pickup time. No registrations will be accepted in person.
Sporting Community Kitchen will receive distribution support from local volunteers as well as packaging and bagging providers Sysco and Price Chopper. Individuals interested in joining the initiative as volunteers can email [email protected].
