Did you ever wonder what happens to the Krishna Lunch leftovers? While some of it goes into a general compost pile at our Alachua rural Krishna Temple, most of it is given to the Salvation Army, St. Francis House or Campus Kitchen for free distribution to the homeless. Approximately 25,000 plates of FREE Krishna Lunch are distributed each year through these charitable organizations. If you know of other organizations that have a similar need for cooked meals on a daily basis, please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . 

Although Krishna Lunch is in it's 38th year, our menus are always evolving and improving as we look for better ways to serve you healthful and satisfying meals. Your feedback is very helpful in this regard and we encourage you to visit the Krishna Lunch Online Suggestion Box . Leaving us your email address will also allow us to send you announcements, updates, schedules, and maybe even a recipe from time to time. Your email address will remain in the Krishna House database only and will not be used for other purposes or shared with other parties.

Coming soon will be an entirely revamped Krishna House website. It will include new features like recipes, daily words of wisdom from the Gator Guru, and much more. Keep your e-eyes open.

Krishna Lunch is all about spiritual enjoyment. The ancient practice of bhakti yoga centers around chanting the names of God (any name will do, though we chant Hare Krishna). Chanting is easy, fun, and a powerful meditation.

After chanting, there's prasad (sanctified vegetarian food that is carefully prepared and offered with love). For a bhakti yogi, every meal is a step forward in spiritual life.

For this reason, Krishna devotees tend to be happy people. We don't push our practices on anyone, but everyone is welcome to join the fun. You're welcome to take part in our regular programs at the Plaza or the Krishna House.
