grab a bite, give if you can
Tiny Home Takeout is where community, connection, and good food come together in a way that’s not just about filling stomachs, but also hearts. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or sharing a moment with us, we’re here to make sure everyone feels at home and valued. Here, you’ll always find a fresh cooked meal, a welcoming smile, and the kind of care that makes you feel like you belong.
Our motto is: “Grab A Bite. Give If You Can.” This means that no matter your financial situation, you’re welcome to enjoy a meal from us. For those who can contribute, we appreciate your generosity, but if you’re unable to, we are honored to serve you just the same. Our goal is to make sure everyone feels valued, dignified, and cared for, regardless of their background or economic status.
dignity, respect and delicous meals for all
We believe that everyone deserves a great meal. When you visit Tiny Home Takeout, you’re not just grabbing a meal—you’re joining a movement where dignity, respect, and care are served with every bite. Our meals aren’t just food; they’re a message: no matter who you are or where you come from, you’re welcome here. It doesn’t matter your income, your background, or your walk of life—we’re all part of the same community.
At Tiny Home Takeout, we are on a mission to remove barriers to access to food for everyone in our community. Whether you’re a regular who stops by every week or a first-time visitor, we welcome you with open arms and serve up fresh, hearty meals in a warm and inviting space. We pride ourselves on making food accessible to everyone, whether you’re grabbing a bite to eat after a long day or you’re someone who needs a helping hand. Our goal is simple: food should never be a luxury, it should be a right. We believe that good food has the power to build connections, strengthen communities, and create a sense of belonging for everyone who comes by. We work to remove the barriers to food access for everyone in our community, ensuring that no one goes hungry, and everyone has the opportunity to share in a meal.
Our goal is simple—to remove the various barriers that prevent people from accessing the food they need. With every meal we serve, we’re not just filling stomachs—we’re breaking down the walls that divide us and building a stronger, more inclusive community where everyone feels valued and cared for. By creating a space where anyone can come, grab a bite, and feel supported, we’re working every day to make food and resources accessible to everyone. At Tiny Home Takeout, it’s not just about feeding people; it’s about building a community where everyone belongs, and everyone has a seat at the table.
our story
In the heart of downtown Kitchener, St. Mary’s Church created this unique project to make sure that no one in our community has to go without a meal. We started from a simple yet powerful idea: a tiny home in front of St. Mary’s Church in downtown Kitchener, providing delicious and nutritious meals.
To bring this vision to life, St. Mary’s Church invested in a full commercial kitchen, brought on the expertise of Chef Amy Cyr, and installed a unique Tiny Home right outside the church. This tiny but mighty food hub serves meals from Tuesday to Saturday, from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. We’re proud to offer Calzones and Daily Bites, prepared fresh and served with love through the takeout window of our Tiny Home. It’s a little window into something much bigger—a place where everyone can share in the joy of a good meal, no matter their background or circumstances. Every meal served is a chance for you to join us in this mission: food shared is a community strengthened.
None of this would be possible without our amazing team of volunteers. Over 240 volunteers give their time and energy throughout the year to support everything from meal prep to customer service. These individuals are the true backbone of Tiny Home Takeout, and we are deeply grateful for their dedication and hard work.
At Tiny Home Takeout, our commitment to the community goes beyond just food. That’s why we also run The Bell Tower, a resource center that provides clothing, footwear, toiletries, and other essentials to those who need it.
