Cooking for a cause

Chelsea Giving Kitchen provides a space where people connect through the meaningful work of cooking and packaging food in our kosher facility. Our collective effort produces high-quality meals distributed via partner agencies to support and uplift community members experiencing hardship.

Nourishing meals with purpose

Every meal we prepare is crafted with love, using fresh, kosher ingredients and guided by expert chefs. These wholesome, made-from-scratch meals are delivered the same day to neighbors in need—because everyone deserves good food made with care.

A volunteer experience like no other

Forget ordinary food drives and dull assembly lines. At CGK, every session is hands-on, interactive, and full of energy. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a total newbie, you’ll feel the joy of giving back in a way that’s fun, meaningful, and deeply rewarding.

Building connections, sparking change

We partner with local organizations—from shelters to community centers—to ensure our meals reach those who need them most. Together, we’re strengthening our neighborhood, one act of kindness (and one delicious meal) at a time.

Our story

When the COVID-19 pandemic brought widespread uncertainty in March 2020, a simple act of compassion unfolded: essential kosher meals were delivered to a community couple facing hardship. This kindness highlighted a larger, heartfelt question: “What about everyone else in our community who is in need, not just today but every day?” This important thought led to the beginning of Chelsea Giving Kitchen. Today, our kosher kitchen is a welcoming place where dedicated volunteers joyfully prepare hundreds of nourishing meals. These dishes, created with care and chessed (kindness), support home-bound Jewish individuals and help strengthen the bonds within our community.
