Nourishing Our Neighbors, Building Community

Cooking with Love is a ministry of MCC Key West that provides healthy, home-cooked meals each Saturday for some of our community’s most vulnerable neighbors. Many of the recipients are elderly, living alone, or homebound, and a warm meal delivered with a smile can make all the difference. Since its beginning, Cooking with Love has been about more than food—it’s about sharing kindness, dignity, and connection across our island.

How It Works

  • Meals are prepared every Saturday morning in the MCC Key West kitchen.

  • Volunteers cook, package, and deliver meals to recipients throughout Key West.

  • Each meal is designed to be nutritious, hearty, and made with love.

  • Our program is funded through donations and supported entirely by volunteers.

Who Can Sign Up to Receive Meals?

Cooking with Love serves residents of Key West who are:

  • Elderly and may have difficulty cooking for themselves

  • Homebound or facing mobility challenges

  • In need of extra support due to health or personal circumstances

If you or someone you know could benefit from the program, please reach out. Signing up is simple:

  1. Contact the MCC Key West office by phone or email.

  2. Provide basic information, such as name, address, and phone number.

  3. A volunteer will confirm details and arrange meal deliveries.

There is no cost to receive meals, our only request is that recipients truly need the support.

Volunteering with Cooking with Love

Cooking with Love thrives because of generous volunteers who give their time and energy each week. There are many ways to help:

  • Kitchen Prep & Cooking: Chop vegetables, prepare ingredients, and help cook meals.

  • Packaging: Assemble meals into containers, ensuring everything is portioned and ready for delivery.

  • Delivery Drivers: Bring meals directly to recipients’ doors, offering not only food but a friendly hello.

  • Donations & Support: Contribute funds or supplies to keep the program running.

Whether you can help once a month or every week, there’s a place for you on the team. Volunteering is a chance to meet new people, serve the community, and truly make a difference.
