WHAT WE DO
We offer community meals once a month at various locations in the Twin Cities. Rather it's a BBQ block party that's uplifting the community, focus groups collaboration, or just sharing a meal to brainstorm about problems plaguing our communities. We work with organizations, groups, and individuals with shared missions. We also give packaged family meals to those that are in need. We believe in promoting healthy meals for families to eat together.
The core of our belief is to give to the people that are facing some of life's toughest challenges. Homelessness and substance abuse is ravaging our communities. We make a good faith effort to reach them through giving of food, life juices, and resources to help with shelters, counseling, and share our hope through faith.
James 2:15-16
"Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?"
OUR IMPACT
Our roots have always been deeply entwined with the communities we serve. From the very beginning, our mission was clear: to uplift and inspire through the universal language of food. We've proudly hosted fundraisers for organizations and individuals in need, held cooking classes to promote health and wellness, and supported urban gardening projects that bring fresh, local produce to underserved areas. But our impact doesn't stop at the plate. We've also dedicated ourselves to mentorship, job training, and the art of storytelling through our recipes, culture, and foodways, believing that every meal tells a story worth sharing.
In March 2024, we took a moment to reflect on our journey and refine our focus. We realized that our true strength lies in harnessing the power of food to forge meaningful collaborations and elevate the quality of life for everyone we touch. This isn't just about feeding people—it's about nourishing souls, building connections, and fostering a sense of community.
As Cooks of Hope continues to grow, our mission remains unwavering, and we're excited to expand our efforts under the new initiative Cooks 4 Hope. This next step allows us to reach even more people and make a greater impact while staying true to our original purpose and values.
