Fund your ministry with the fellowship hall you already own.
Most church kitchens are certified commercial spaces used a few hours a week. List yours on Food Web and rent it by the hour to licensed food entrepreneurs — income for your ministry and outreach, with vetting, insurance checks, and payments handled for you.
Why churches choose Food Web
Providing certified kitchen space to new food businesses is practical, everyday ministry — it helps neighbours earn a living and keeps your building serving people all week.
Food Web manages bookings, payments, insurance verification, and documentation, so your office staff and volunteer teams aren’t running a rental business.
Rental income supports programs, outreach, and the building fund — new revenue without another fundraiser or an increase in giving.
An active, well-used facility draws people in. Hosting food entrepreneurs and pop-up events makes your church a visible part of the local food community.
More than the kitchen
List what makes sense for your space — renters book exactly what they need.
Hourly rental of your certified commercial kitchen on the weekdays it sits unused.
Commercial ranges, ovens, and prep equipment are exactly what growing food businesses need.
Rent shelf, fridge, or freezer space to recurring renters who produce weekly.
Rent your hall for community meals, pop-up dinners, markets, and workshops.

Start listingEvery hour you rent keeps money, meals, and skills in your local food economy — and helps a food entrepreneur cook legally. That's the web working.
Everything church boards and facility managers ask before listing
Absolutely. You control the calendar — block off services, holidays, funerals, and church programming with a few clicks, and rent only the hours you choose.
Farmers' market vendors, small caterers, meal prep services, and cooking instructors — typically booking recurring weekly slots. You review every profile and approve every booking.
Yes. You set house rules for your space — including restrictions on alcohol, specific ingredients, or types of production — and every renter agrees to them before their booking is approved.
Nothing. There is no listing fee — Food Web takes 12% of completed bookings, the lowest among kitchen-sharing platforms. You keep 88% of every dollar earned.
