Ruth’s Kitchen is a food pantry operated by Discovery Christian Community, offering free food to anyone in need. Open twice a week, Ruth’s Kitchen exists as a reflection of Jesus’ love and compassion, seeking to help meet the physical needs of our community. We believe that every person is valued and worthy of dignity, regardless of their circumstances. No registration or requirements—just come as you are and receive a variety of fresh and non-perishable food items at no cost.
Ruth’s Kitchen is open every Tuesday at 12:30 PM and Thursday at 6:30 PM. The distribution process typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of guests. Everyone is welcome to wait indoors in a warm and welcoming space while food is distributed.
Ruth’s Kitchen operates out of Discovery Christian Community, located at 5929 S 900 E, Salt Lake City, UT 84121. Since the main doors remain locked during the week, we invite all guests to enter through the north-facing side entrance when they arrive. If you need assistance finding your way, just look for our friendly volunteers—we’re happy to help!
Believe it or not, Ruth’s Kitchen is entirely run by dedicated volunteers who generously give their time to serve our community. From unloading deliveries to organizing food and welcoming guests, every aspect of this ministry is powered by people who care. Our lead volunteer, Kelsey, helps oversee the pantry and ensures that each visit runs smoothly. If you stop by, you’ll be greeted with her warm smile and a friendly welcome! We’re grateful for all our volunteers who make Ruth’s Kitchen a place of kindness, generosity, and service.
