OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUPPORT
Everyone Deserves Good Food
At The Kitchen House, we believe that good food—grown and prepared with care—should be a right, not a luxury. Through trusted partnerships, we deliver high-impact, hands-on garden-to-kitchen programs to youth in transitional housing, affordable housing, and food-insecure neighborhoods. Your support makes this possible.
Please contact us at giving@thekitchenhouse.org for more information on how to support or sponsor one of these programs or initiatives. To make a one-time or recurring donation, please visit our DONATE page.
