In 2005, Courtyard Ministries provided a free holiday meal for the homeless on Thanksgiving Day, and the ministry sprung to life.

In 2006 Courtyard provided a public Free Christmas Dinner on December 23, 2006 at the Community Building located at 9th and Main streets of Canon City . The meal included home cooked turkey along with all the trimmings! During the meal Christmas gifts of hats and gloves were distributed to all who came.

Courtyard Ministries has now named this ministry, "TABITHA'S KITCHEN". For 2007, Tabitha's Kitchen will be providing meals and a communion service to the homeless and other wise needy at Easter time, and in July will be hosting a Free Hot Dog In The Park day.
