The McKinney Star-Spangled Salsa Fest Committee is a group of community members with a heart for service and a mind to nourish others. They have gathered to help Community Garden Kitchen raise funds to build its’ kitchen in McKinney, the county seat of Collin County. Once built, this 4,800 square foot free standing building will include a kitchen and dining area to serve families in need, no questions asked, no paperwork required. Everyone is welcome. This facility will “be a center of hope and compassion, ensuring that no one in our community suffers the fear and distress of food insecurity,” Angela Poen, Community Garden Kitchen board president.
