As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we’ve been reflecting on how far we’ve come—and the work still ahead. Over the past decade, more than 1,000 apprentices have trained in our kitchens, nearly 800,000 meals have supported our community, and this year alone, 70 small food-based businesses have launched or grown with our guidance. None of this would be possible without you.
$50,000 Giving Tuesday Match Begins Now
A generous supporter has offered to match all gifts made to our Giving Tuesday campaign—up to $50,000. This means your gift can have twice the impact at a time when demand for our training programs is higher than ever.
Growing Our Impact Together
We are committed to expanding our programs to meet the rising needs of our community—from workforce training and microenterprise support to hunger-relief initiatives. Your support helps us ensure more San Diegans gain the skills and opportunities they need to succeed.
A Decade of Impact—and a Look Ahead
As we mark 10 years of Kitchens for Good, Giving Tuesday is a moment to highlight the apprentices whose determination and resilience inspire our work. Next week, we’ll be sharing stories from individuals whose lives have taken a new direction through training and support made possible by you.
Thank you for standing with the apprentices, small-business owners, and community. Your ongoing support is the foundation of everything we are able to accomplish.
With Gratitude,
Jennifer Gilmore
CEO, Kitchens for Good
