The mission

What this organization describes

Using food to change lives

Cathedral Kitchen is the largest emergency food provider in Camden, NJ, serving more than 100,000 meals a year. We provide nutritious meals for impoverished residents of Camden. We also provide meals for local after school programs, groceries for low-income senior centers, and send donated food to local pantries, churches and soup kitchens that also serve our client population. The Culinary Arts Training Program and the Baking Arts Training Program operate concurrently for 17 weeks, twice per year. The two programs enroll approximately 60 students per year. Both programs include classroom instruction in culinary/baking arts, plus ServSafe certification training, like skills, financial literacy and interviewing skills training. Graduates are assisted with job placement and over 85 percent of graduates find employment during the first three months following graduation. In addition, we have two social enterprises as well as supportive services.
