Mission
Community Cooks is a nonprofit organization that mobilizes individuals, businesses, civic and faith-based groups to prepare home-cooked food for vulnerable populations seeking assistance from human service agencies in the Greater Boston area. In contributing nutritious and much-needed food, Community Cooks aims to: • feed our hungry neighbors who might otherwise go without; • build a bridge of caring between volunteers and community members in need; • support conditions for program participants to achieve success by alleviating their hunger needs. Our overarching goal is to create communities where neighbors connect with neighbors by sharing nourishment towards a common benefit and thereby contribute to a more compassionate world.
