From humble beginnings in a church office in 2003, Zack’s Kitchen now serves more than 150 households annually. Zack’s Kitchen relies heavily upon community donations to continue supporting our patients. Patients are encouraged to talk to their case managers about their options to receive resources from Zack’s Kitchen.
Food Assistance Programs
The food assistance offered by this program provides a supplemental food quantity that can be received once per month. This service is available to anyone who is HIV+ – regardless of whether they are a patient. There are several options for receiving food to accommodate patients across our service areas.
Zack’s Kitchen – Patient’s-Choice Food Pantry
Our Henderson Clinic is the home of Zack’s Kitchen. Mondays and Fridays during clinic hours, patients can choose from a variety of food items, personal essentials, and household items. This is done through submitting a mobile order via the tablet provided Matthew 25 Henderson’s lobby or by utilizing the link below.
Delivery to Henderson, Owensboro, and Evansville Areas
We are also able to bring pre-packaged boxes to patients living in these services areas monthly. This program is blessed to have the assistance from a number of amazing volunteers!
Pick up a pre-made food package at your satellite clinic
Matthew 25 also offers pre-made food packages at each Satellite clinic. Patients are encouraged to call ahead to pick up these food packages.
Gift Card Assistance Program for remote locations in Matthew 25 areas
We provide you with a $50 gift card to your choice of Walmart or Aldi; this can be used to purchase food items, personal hygiene, or household supplies. In order to participate in this program, you are required to submit your receipt of the purchase; we strive to make this as simple as possible with providing you a pre-addressed and stamped envelope or a receipt can also be emailed to one of our Community Services Specialists.
Nutritional Supplements
If your provider prescribes you a nutritional supplement, we are able to assist you in obtaining this product. They can be picked up at any of our Clinic locations or can be delivered along with your monthly food box.
Megan’s Mobile Grocery in Bowling Green
Matthew 25 collaborates with Megan’s mobile grocery to provide vouchers to receive $15 for a food voucher and $5 for a hygiene voucher. This is a program that provides local families in Bowling Green with access to staple food items at an affordable price.
