Meals That Truly Heal
Cooking with
Love, Serving
with Purpose.
A community kitchen that cooks with love and serves with purpose.
1 in 7 households in Chelsea and Lower Manhattan face economic hardship.
So many people in our community struggle to afford fresh, nutritious meals. And behind these statistics are real families and individuals in need of support.
At Chelsea Giving Kitchen, we bring volunteers together to share the joy of cooking and giving. Through our fun and meaningful events, volunteers team up to prepare delicious kosher meals, which are delivered the same day by our local partners to neighbors facing food insecurity.
Together, we make a real difference—one delicious meal at a time.
