This year, WCFR’s annual Dinner on the Bridge: Celebrating Farm-to-Fork gourmet fundraiser will be held as a virtual campaign, due to public health concerns. Although we are disappointed to miss welcoming you into the tent at Riverfront Park, we are excited to offer a new way to safely engage and support our critical programs and services.

Since the onset of the pandemic, WCFR has provided over 300,000 meals to local families impacted by job losses, school closures, and health issues. We pivoted our services by making prepared meals and groceries available curbside and delivering meals to shelters and care centers across the community.

As with past events, our bridge dinner celebrates regional farmers, culinary creativity and artisan producers. We invite you to consider a small, socially distanced home gathering to enjoy one of our finest meals to date.

We value your past support and welcome new members to the WCFR family. Please consider participating in our virtual fundraiser by ordering your gourmet dinner featuring Chef Melissa’s favorite ingredients and a spectacular dessert created by award-winning chef Ricky Webster.

 

Webster is the 2019 winner of Hallmark’s ‘Christmas Cookie Matchup and winner of Food Network’s Christmas Cookie Challenge. This fall, he will open Rind and Wheat at 1516 W Riverside Avenue, a multi-concept shop, offering everything from bread and baked goods, to artisan cheeses and beer.

About Us

Women & Children's Free Restaurant & Community Kitchen is a vital safety net that fills nutritional gaps for women and children in need while fostering dignity and respect, both within our restaurant and in the community

In mid-March, WCFR quickly pivoted its dine-in services to curbside meal and grocery distribution to hundreds of Spokane families every week. We also deliver meals to numerous local nonprofit programs in our community. Our partner agencies provide services such as homeless shelters, domestic violence assistance, and child care. These unique collaborations connect our most vulnerable citizens with basic needs and healthy options for improved quality of life.

Safety, dignity, self-sufficiency and mutual respect are key components of our services. We’re committed to helping create a strong and vibrant community and future. Food insecurity is defined as having unreliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food. In Spokane County, this problem affects at least 73,000 people – fully 15% of our residents and about 1 in 5 children. During this time of COVID-19, the problem has grown exponentially.

Our typical, pre-pandemic weekly meal output of 2,200 meals has increased to as many as 32,000 meals in a single week. WCFR's services are vital to the Spokane community and we need your support, now more than ever.
