Pickleball Powers Meals for Community

Over 100 people packed Rolfe Park for the second annual Friendly Kitchen Pickleball Tournament, raising $17,000 before the first serve—money that fuels the nonprofit’s mission to serve more than 80,000 meals annually to families, seniors, and daycares. Organized by staff member and pickleball enthusiast Jonesy Rainville, the event showcased Concord’s powerful community spirit, with even 86-year-old David Stevenson—pioneer of pickleball in Concord—out on the court. As the kitchen expands partnerships with schools and youth centers, it’s clear this vital mission isn’t going away—and fun events like this prove how much the community cares.
