Community Kitchens’ mission is to unify and bring together our whole community to build stronger and more resilient foodways to support and uplift our marginalized community members, neighborhoods and businesses in Oakland.
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.
Community Kitchens is changing the way we approach hunger and food security in our community by offering highly accessible food support for those who are underserved by other programs. Our guiding principle is the radical notion that food is not just a bundle of nutrition, but also an opportunity for human dignity, community connection and mental health.
In the neighborhoods we serve, over half the people go to bed hungry at night. We are committed to building a more equitable and just food ecosystem in Oakland by uniting independent restaurants, community-based organizations, government agencies, restaurant diners and volunteers to create sustainable, community-centric solutions promoting food justice that is driven by the voice of the people.
There are many ways to support! Dine with purpose at our Dining for Justice restaurants, volunteer at our kitchen or make a donation to help feed our community.
