Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank, Three O'Clock Project's community kitchen aims to open by end of 2027BATON ROUGE — The Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank and Three O'Clock Project's joint community kitchen is expected to be finished by the end of 2027. A spokesperson for the food bank said that the project, which aims to cook up to 1,000 meals a day at first, will be funded through private donors. The project is also expected to scale up its production to 5,000 to 7,000 meals a day at some point after the kitchen begins operation. "Through partnership with Three O'Clock Project, who have successfully operated a food rescue kitchen, we will continue to operate this model on a larger scale," a spokesperson continued. WBRZ previously reported that the partnership will bring together the food bank's distribution network, volunteer base and nutrition programs with the Three O'Clock Project's background in food rescue and child nutrition to turn rescued food into prepared meals.
