🥕🍅 Heading to the Lenexa Farmers Mkt this Saturday?

Be sure to stop by the Johnson County K-State Extension booth! Our Extension Master Food Volunteers will be there with free research-based nutrition and healthy eating resources, recipes, and ideas for making the most of fresh, seasonal produce.

🌽 Bring the kids! Pick up a Farmers Market Bingo card at our booth, explore the market to find the featured items, then return your completed card for a small prize.

It's a fun way to discover local foods, learn something new, and enjoy a Saturday morning at the market.

We hope to see you there!

Every kitchen has a beginning.

Sometimes it's a first apartment. Sometimes it's a family rebuilding after hardship. Sometimes it's a new home after a major life transition.

Kitchen Restore helps equip those fresh starts by giving donated kitchen essentials a second life.

As you tackle summer organizing, unpack college boxes, or sort through the leftovers from garage sale season, consider donating gently used kitchen items you no longer need. Pots and pans, dishes, utensils, small kitchen tools, mixing bowls, bakeware, and other kitchen essentials can make a meaningful difference for someone starting over.

🤝 We also need your help spreading the word.

Does your organization work with individuals or families establishing a household after a move, crisis, or other major life change? We'd love to connect. Kitchen Restore partners with community organizations to help place these donated items where they're needed most.

Please share this post with organizations, case managers, housing providers, faith communities, or community groups that may know someone who could benefit from Kitchen Restore.

Together, we can turn extra kitchen items into the tools that help make a house feel like home. 💜 Learn more: https://tinyurl.com/2p6dutjb
