We are committed to alleviating
food & housing insecurity in North Kitsap
Kingston Cares volunteers source, pack and deliver balanced, easy-to-prepare meals to students across North Kitsap School District during summer, winter and spring breaks when they lose access to school meals because we believe that all families should have easy access to nutrition, even when school isn’t in session.
Kingston Cares mobilizes a trained network of volunteers to provide overnight shelter, showers and ready-to-eat nourishment for neighbors seeking refuge during inclement weather in North Kitsap because we believe that everyone in our community deserves a warm and safe place to sleep.
Join us on the second Friday of each month from 5-6:30pm at the Village Green for a warm meal made with love! Each month Kingston Cares sponsors a host group to provide 150-200 meals for dine-in and to-go guests because we believe sharing food is so much more than nutrition — it’s about connection.
Kingston Cares sponsors regular restocking of non-perishable groceries at our Little Free Pantry in downtown Kingston because we believe in zero-barrier access to food and basic hygiene items for all our neighbors.
Kingston Cares works with the community to create and advocate for creative solutions to address housing insecurity, because we believe in a vision of Kingston and North Kitsap with housing options that are affordable at all levels, for all people.
We are volunteer-led & community centered
About Us
Since our beginning in 2013, we’ve held the vision that when we collaborate as a community, anything is possible.
Possibility means we envision a Kingston and North Kitsap where housing and food security are a given. Possibility means we are working together to find clever, thrifty, sustainable pathways to getting there.
You have a lot of choices when it comes to how you share your unique gifts of time, talent, money and energy, and it means a lot to us that you choose Kingston Cares. It would cost us millions of dollars to run our programs (and wouldn’t be nearly as fun!) without YOU, the volunteers who come early, stay late, do all the things and let us be part of your lives. You change the definition of what is possible.
Thank you.
Now, more than a decade from our beginning, we’re proud to have both grown our capacity and remained true to our original vision of being volunteer-led and community-centered.
