The ETCDC worked with Helen Ashe and Ellen Turner, The Love Kitchen founders, to develop the concept plans to relocate from the original location, which was in a small house on McCalla Avenue to its current expanded facility on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

The Love Kitchen provides meals, clothing, and emergency food packages to homebound, homeless, and unemployed people of all races and faiths. They work with local agencies to provide meals, secure used clothing, and donate services to promote the self-sufficiency of those they serve.
