The Love Kitchen, Knoxville, TN. Feeding all races, all denominations since 1986.

In this Valentine season, I (Amy Campbell) wanted to share a story of true love. Helen and Ellen founded The Love Kitchen on Valentine’s Day, 1986, feeding 22 people in need. I visited Helen and Ellen in 2015, and you can hear their voices in this podcast. Their truth that you will see posted on the wall of the love kitchen is “Everybody is God’s Somebody.” Three truths their Daddy taught them: 1. There is but one father, that’s the heavenly father 2. There is but 1 race, and that’s the human race. 3. Don’t ever take the last pc of bread from the table cause somebody might come by who’s hungry. The Love Kitchen provides a Wednesday food pantry, serves 500 meals in-house, and delivers over 3,000 meals to the homebound weekly. That’s 155,000 meals a year. So even though Helen and Ellen are no longer with us in body, they are with us in spirit, and The Love Kitchen is still thriving and serving.
