Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I have to pay for a meal?
A: Meals are and always will be free of charge.
Q: How do I get my meal(s)?
A: Our volunteer drivers deliver to your home every Tuesday afternoon.
Q: How do I know if I'm eligible for meals?
A: Truro Community Kitchen serves anyone in need, no questions asked. We recognize that need can look different for different people. TCK understands that there are many reasons that an individual or family may choose to register for meals, including but not limited to financial concerns. Even if your primary concern is not financial, we're here for you too. You will never have to explain or justify your reason(s) for registering, we promise.
Q: How does TCK protect my privacy?
A: Only the TCK leadership have access to the list of meal recipients, and we keep it strictly confidential. You will not have to provide us with your name. We will ask you for a phone number just in case we need to contact you, and your address so that we know where to deliver.
Q: What if I have dietary restrictions?
A: TCK works hard to accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions in our meals, and we take allergen safety very seriously. Just let us know what your needs are when you register and we'll keep it on file.
Q: How does TCK keep environmental sustainability in mind?
As of April 2024, TCK serves its meals in reusable meal containers and reusable tote bags. We collect them from your homes each week to be washed and sanitized in a commercial washing machine. Learn more about our "Go Green" initiative here.
