Isabella Community Soup Kitchen Renovation

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the Isabella Community Soup Kitchen (ICSK) has been serving over 200 meals per day, doubling the previous average of 100 meals per day pre-pandemic. The increase in meals resulted in the need for a kitchen remodel, including new equipment. New energy-efficient appliances and flooring helps ICSK to provide meals in a more efficient manner with the added bonus of increased safety for staff and patrons. This project was a much needed upgrade and will aid in the continued preparation and distribution of meals to anyone in need for the next 30 years.

The project was successfully executed thanks to the generous funding of $20,000 from the Community Impact Fund, Hersee Family Fund, Sally and John Goodrow Fund, John and Sue Bradac Family Emergency Fund, Isabella Bank Director Memorial Fund, John P. and Ann S. Jensen Community Impact Fund, Barbara L. and George W. Dunn Family Fund, Missy and Doug LaBelle Family Foundation Community Impact Fund, Fisher Companies Community Impact Fund, Ranck Family Fund, and the Steve and Sue Pung Family Fund.
