Riversyde 83 Community Kitchen, owned and operated by Church out Serving at 83 Sydenham St., Simcoe, focuses on improving accessibility to local healthy foods to people living with food insecurity, suffering from illness or disability, socially isolated, widows/widowers, or those unable to cook for themselves. In the future, classes and workshops will be held to teach a variety of food skills including how to plan and prepare meals.

Riversyde is under renovation. Upon completion, it will also include a trendy cafe, food market place, and meeting places. Riversyde 83 plans to be a gathering place where people from the community can come together.
