Helping feed all Oaklanders
A food revolution
Community Kitchens’ mission is to harness the power of food to change lives, uplift communities and protect our environment. Our guiding principle is that access to food and the dignity of a hot meal is a human right.
Our vision is to build a more equitable and just food ecosystem in Oakland by uniting independent restaurants, community-based organizations, government agencies and volunteers to create sustainable, community-centric solutions promoting food justice that is driven by the voice of the people.
