About Kitchen Restore - The Kitchen Restore program provides kitchen starter kits to low-resource households. Adult participants in K-State Research and Extension nutrition education programs serving individuals at or below 185% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) are eligible for a kit. Kits include a range of items to help households prepare and eat more nutritious meals at home. Funding for Kitchen Restore is made possible through donations and grants. We are grateful to West Wichita Rotary for the sponsorship and support they have provided for this initiative.
