We are proud to announce that the Sweet Om Alabama Community Kitchen is entering it’s 25th year of service – and as always – we need the kindness and support of our collective community to help us continue into our 2020 season!

The Sweet Om Kitchen has some big plans this year as we intend to not only continue servicing our beloved Harmony Park family but we are also planning to extend our services otherwise.

Please check back soon for updates in these regards.

What is the Sweet Om Community Kitchen?

The Sweet Om Kitchen provides hundreds – sometimes thousands – of delicious meals, fresh coffee, and snacks at Rainbow Family Gatherings, festivals, and wherever else needed. All of the food, snacks, coffee, and drinks served are donated from kind souls from within our collective community.

The Sweet Om Kitchen has been around for quite a while. The first time the kitchen was set up at an annual Rainbow Family Gathering was at the 1995 gathering in New Mexico. The kitchen has grown and morphed over the years in many different ways. One of the kitchen’s main sources of energy was River Man who passed away in 2014.

In 2012 the kitchen took to Wookiefoot’s ‘Project Earth’ at Minnesota’s Harmony Park. This was the first time in our history that our free kitchen was set up at a commercial event. At first the kitchen did not serve meals until the event was completed in order to feed the volunteer crews so that the kitchen did not take away potential business from the paying food vendors. After being overwhelmed by the love and acceptance of the kitchen, we have been invited back to Harmony Park and have become somewhat of a fixture within their community.

This year’s season will not only feature continued service to those within Harmony Park but it will also be our last gathering during this year’s final Project Earth festival. We are sad to see this festival end but look forward to our future as we continue to serve and fill the absence of this gathering. We also look forward to future collaborations with Wookiefoot, Harmony Park, and our collective family.

The Sweet Om Kitchen has been 100% free. What we do is show up with our gear, tarps, and direction – the family contributes the food, money to buy food, money for additional supplies and resources, along with the help it takes to make the kitchen happen.

None of our efforts would be possible without the love and generosity of our collective family.

100% of our contributions will be used solely for the kitchen in order to purchase food, supplies, and the cost of fuel to get the kitchen to its intended destinations.

A note in regards to funds raised online throughout 2020: We intended to serve our collective family at Revival Music Festival – Harmony Park, MN during Labor Day weekend. This event scheduled May 22nd-24th has been postponed until July 9th-11th due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As we take our own safety precautions at this time, we are also adjusting our 2020 season. We still intend to serve at Project Earth Festival, June 18th-20th then Revival at the later date… however we are continuing to make decisions in regards to our next course of action given the current circumstances and will announce any additional seasonal changes or plans as soon as possible.

We appreciate your patience and are working to continue serve and collaborate with our collective family.
