Cathedral Kitchen’s mission is to help people out of food insecurity and champion their pursuit of stability and prosperity.
Meal and Outreach Program
Cathedral Kitchen is the largest emergency meal provider in South Jersey. With a vision of success, hope, and abundance for people in need, CK provides a robust Meal and Outreach Program that serves free meals to thousands of Camden residents annually. As many as 700 guests receive a hot, nutritious meal, daily in our welcoming dining room; an additional 3,000 meals are prepared and delivered monthly to vulnerable children, adults, and seniors across Camden.
Social Services
Through partnerships with area service providers and with the help of CK Empowerment Coaches, meal guests are connected to critical resources that improve their lives and address the root causes of hunger, including benefits, counseling, and healthcare. Socks, underwear, and a host of hygiene and personal care items are also readily available to all our meal guests, satisfying this critical, basic need.
Culinary Training
Accredited by the American Culinary Federation, our Culinary Arts Training Program regularly achieves a 100% pass rate for the ServSafe exam and an over 85% employment rate post-graduation. This free training program changes lives daily.
Social Enterprise
Our mission-driven, thriving Catering and Contracted Meals businesses provide jobs in Camden, training experience and workforce development for our culinary students, and critical revenue for our services.
