Pay-what-you-can options available for SNAP recipients and those facing financial hardship - City of North Bend release - North Bend, OR — Kozy Kitchen locations in North Bend and Myrtle Point are launching a temporary “Kozy Kindness Menu” beginning Tuesday, November 4, 2025, to help ensure no one in the community goes hungry. The initiative is a pay-what-you-can program created in response to growing need for affordable, nourishing meals — especially among seniors, children, and families struggling to make ends meet.  The Kozy Kindness Menu features homestyle favorites at reduced, accessible price points, including:  Pancake Breakfast — $5; Biscuit & Gravy with 2 Eggs and 2 Sausage or Bacon — $5; Cheeseburger Basket — $6; Baked Pasta Ziti with Meat Sauce and Garlic Bread — $7; Meatloaf Dinner Plate — $7; These meals will be available to SNAP recipients and anyone experiencing financial hardship.  “We’re especially concerned for our seniors, our children, and anyone struggling to make ends meet right now,” said David Grover, speaking on behalf of Kozy Kitchen. “This is about neighbors helping neighbors — a little comfort, and a lot of love, from our kitchen to those in need.”  Community members who wish to support the effort can also take part in a Pay It Forward option. Through this feature, anyone can purchase a “Kozy Kindness Meal” in advance for someone in need. These prepaid meals will be made available to guests who could use a warm, hearty plate and a reminder that their community cares.  “With this program, Kozy Kitchen hopes to ease food insecurity while building connection, compassion, and community resilience — one meal at a time,” Grover added.  Meals will be available in limited quantities, but Kozy Kitchen will do all it can to provide as many as possible to the community.
