Annie's Kitchen is a community meal ministry of Edmonds Lutheran Church. Each week, dedicated volunteers prepare and serve a free homemade dinner where neighbors from every walk of life gather around the same table — sharing food, stories, and a sense of belonging.
Some guests come because they need a meal. Others come because they need conversation. Many come simply because they enjoy sharing life with others. Whatever brings you through the door, at Annie's Kitchen, everyone belongs.
We believe food has the power to do something extraordinary — it brings people together across every difference and builds the kind of relationships that transform a neighborhood into a true community.
A shared meal is one of the most powerful acts of community. Every Wednesday, we set a table where connections are made and friendships begin.
Genuine welcome — no strings attached — has the power to transform lives and strengthen the fabric of our entire neighborhood.
Annie's Kitchen exists to nourish both body and spirit, creating a space where every guest feels seen, valued, and genuinely loved.
Stepping through the doors of Annie's Kitchen for the first time is easy. No registration, no paperwork — just warm hospitality from the moment you arrive. Here's what you'll find every Wednesday evening:
A freshly prepared homemade dinner, served with care every single week.
Beverages and dessert are always part of the table — a little sweetness to go with the meal.
Warm, welcoming volunteers and neighbors who are genuinely glad you came.
Shared seating that encourages connection — because meals are always better together.
Our space is fully accessible, so everyone can join us comfortably and with ease.
Annie's Kitchen was built on a simple belief: there should always be room at the table. We mean that literally and without exception. Our guests come from every background and every circumstance — and each one is greeted with the same genuine warmth.
- A family or a senior
- A student or working nearby
- Experiencing financial hardship
- Unhoused or in transition
- New to the Edmonds area
- Looking to meet people
- Eating alone tonight
- Or simply curious
There is always room at the table. Annie's Kitchen asks nothing of you except that you come as you are. No income requirements. No church membership. No appointment needed. You don't need to be a residence of Edmonds. All neighbors and community members are welcome to join us and volunteer.
Every Wednesday. 5:15–6:30 PM.

Strangers become regulars. Regulars become friends. Annie's Kitchen is where lasting relationships are forged over a shared meal.
Those who come to serve often find they receive just as much in return — a sense of purpose and deep connection to their community.
We celebrate one another. At Annie's Kitchen, every guest matters — and milestones are marked with the joy they deserve.
Walk in once and you're a guest. Walk in twice and you're family. That's the spirit Annie's Kitchen was built on.
