    • About Us

    Community Kitchens is a free meal program for Oakland’s most vulnerable community members. Our mission is to feed people left behind by other food programs and to build community and solidarity through food.

    We bring together over 50 local restaurants and 10 community groups to prepare and distribute meals to our unhoused, at-risk youth, and shut in or low-income seniors every day. Our meals are distributed by a network of community organizations who use our meals as a trust-building tool that helps them connect marginalized communities with needed services and support.
