Community Kitchens' mission is to bring together our whole community to harness the power of food to change lives, uplift communities and protect our environment. 

In the neighborhoods we serve, over half the people are going to bed hungry at night. Being founded by chefs and restaurateurs, we are conscious of the non-nutritious value of food.  The psychological impacts of having a delicious meal that warms the body and the soul.  The social impacts of food in how a meal brings people together.  Being founded in Oakland, we are conscious of the diverse needs of our community and the historic institutionalized discrimination and racism that have led to dramatic inequalities in our community today.
