Community Kitchen Location

121 Drs. James Parker Boulevard, Red Bank, NJ 07701

Our newly renovated Community Kitchen is at the core of what we do at Lunch Break offering free, hot meals to our community daily. Our kitchen staff utilizes fresh, seasonal ingredients to create dishes that satisfy and nourish our neighbors.  This includes dishes such as Peruvian Chicken, Black Beans with Sazon Rice and Argentinian Beef along with a daily “build your own” salad bar.

Our kitchen’s services include…

  • In-house dining

  • Take-away options

  • Homebound delivery

Our kitchen is a community hub that brings our neighbors together to share meals and foster a strong fellowship and mutual support. Hosting events like Friday Night Community Dinners with bingo and poetry slams, Wellness Wednesdays, chair yoga, spoken word performances, and other events with partner agencies.

We are committed to environmentally friendly practices such as using locally sourced produce and composting to repurpose food scraps. The kitchen also offers volunteering opportunities, from meal preparation to event organization, all in a welcoming atmosphere.

Homebound Meals

Homebound meals are provided to individuals who require food delivery due to a medical condition. Red Bank Residents ONLY. Meals are delivered Monday – Saturday. Registration is required. For more information, contact Judi Pandi at 732.747.8577 ext. 3014.

Thanksgiving Feast and Fellowship

Lunch Break’s annual Thanksgiving Feast brings the community together for a warm meal and a sense of belonging. It’s a day where everyone enjoys delicious food and shares in the importance of kindness and community support.

Holiday Brunch

Gather with us at Lunch Break on December 25th for a holiday brunch that celebrates fellowship within our community. Enjoy festive favorites in a warm atmosphere, connect with neighbors and friends, and experience the joy of giving as we present toys to children, highlighting the season’s spirit of unity and generosity.
