## Resource

Thelma’s Kitchen is taking a temporary pause to reimagine its future—closing September 2nd for a community-driven reset, aiming to reopen by early 2027 with a refreshed vibe. While the dining room rests, meals continue thanks to Reconciliation Services, serving thousands yearly. Rooted in the legacy of Mother Thelma, who fed neighbors from her home before the kitchen opened, this beloved Troost Avenue hub reopened in July after pandemic closure. Now, they’re inviting everyone to shape their next chapter via a quick online survey—because as their exec director says, “root down in order to bear fruit up.” Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
