Vision
Our vision is to create a sustainable system of Farming and Culinary Arts that not only nourishes but empowers communities. By building this system, we aim to provide local food sources, create job opportunities, and help get the unhoused off the streets. We are dedicated to supporting vulnerable populations, including children, veterans, and others in need. Through our innovative approach, we will teach skills, cultivate hope, and transform lives.
There are over 67,000 individuals experiencing homelessness on the streets of Los Angeles, and Kitchen Gourmet is dedicated to making a profound impact on their lives. Our vision is to provide healthy, low-fat meals on a regular basis to those in need, nourishing both the body and spirit of our homeless population. But we do not stop there – our goal is to help them escape the streets and connect them with critical resources such as healthcare, housing, and employment opportunities.
Kitchen Gourmet’s mission is to transform entire communities by changing the way we approach feeding vulnerable populations, including the homeless and veterans experiencing homelessness. We believe that everyone deserves access to fresh, healthy meals made from scratch, and our culinary program is designed to offer these meals while also providing valuable job training within the food industry.
By creating opportunities for employment, skill-building, and nourishment, we are working to empower individuals to build brighter futures. Through our holistic approach, we aim not only to feed those in need but to give them the tools to rise above their circumstances, supporting them in their journey toward stability and self-sufficiency. Together, we can change lives, one meal at a time
