Community Meal Prep Club brings people together to prepare nourishing meals for neighbors in need, promoting food security, dignity, and belonging.

What we do

Learn about our vision

We lead engaging cooking events for corporate, nonprofit, and community groups to prepare high-quality, culturally responsive meals for partner hunger relief organizations.

Increasing choice and access

We thoughtfully plan menus with our partners and lead groups through preparing recipes that accommodate diverse dietary needs so recipients have options. Community Meal Prep Club mobilizes local collective action to increase access to fresh, nourishing, unprocessed foods.

Building community

Working in teams, we collectively prepare on average 100 meals during each three-hour volunteer event. We believe the joy and care experienced in the kitchen are felt in every meal we create. Our events make space for relationship-building and connection, including a break for small bites and beverages tailored to the dietary needs and preferences of the group.

Strengthening cooking skills
through service

Community Meal Prep Club’s beginner-friendly events are led by an experienced chef who provides personalized guidance. Participants build cooking skills in a supportive environment and explore creative recipes to later make at home.

“I’m so happy that we made such great meals for others to enjoy!
Your organization of these events makes it extremely joyful to participate.
Thanks for going the extra miles behind the scenes to make this happen.”

— Shannon M, Participant
