Kitchen on the Street

Kitchen on the Street began serving the community in 2007 when the Scarpinato family learned about the prevalence of food insecurity in local Arizona children. Hearing that thousands of children that received breakfast and lunch at school but were going hungry on weekends compelled Vince, Lisa and Taylor Scarpinato to found Kitchen on the Street as a means of bringing food and hope to children in need. In 2007 Kitchen on the Street was limited to one program to serve the hungry children of Phoenix, a food backpack program providing shelf stable meals and snacks to food insecure children. As a volunteer driven faith based non-profit organization, KOS relies on the community to meet the needs of the hungry and hurting.  Kitchen on the Street is a faith based non-profit organization, earning 501c3 status in 2007; Tax Id 20-5723799, and is a qualifying charity for the “Work Poor Tax Credit” through the state of Arizona. The mission: Turning hunger into hope…one child at a time.
