Community Kitchen Collective

that we may build solidarity with those marginalized by capitalism and the industrial food system. at it’s simplest, we will distribute fresh food to neighborhoods and serve homemade meals in places that suffer from food insecurity; at it’s most complex, we hope to bring chefs, radical organizers, & neighbors to the table to eat and talk about the issues that effect our communities, especially around hunger and food access. we get food donations from around the city, cook in our kitchens, and serve in a variety of ways. at this time, we provide free, hot meals to the houseless in the central city & downtown areas, distribute free produce to neighbors & community organizations, and organize solidarity food catering for anti-capitalist & social justice organizations. we’d like to do outreach across the city, so contact us if you know other places we can distribute fresh food and serve meals. we can also assist others in starting similar projects in their neighborhoods. WHEN DO YOU COOK & SERVE TO THE PUBLIC? right now we’re cooking on tuesdays and hoping to get more kitchens involved on other days. the work shifts are something like this:
10am – 3pm: prep & cook
3pm – 5:30pm: serve & clean
