About this facility
- Mission
- from website:
Serving free meals and distributing fresh food in new orleans Community Kitchen aims to do many things. our mission is to bring together those who love to grow, gather, cook, and serve food so that we may build solidarity with those marginalized by capitalism and the industrial food system. at it’s simplest, we will distribute fresh food to neighborhoods and serve homemade meals in places that suffer from food insecurity; at it’s most complex, we hope to bring chefs, radical organizers, & neighbors to the table to eat and talk about the issues that effect our communities, especially around hunger and food access. we get food donations from around the city, cook in our kitchens, and serve in a variety of ways. - Service

Notes
2012 HURRICANE ISAAC -
from website:
responding to hurricane isaac, sept. 3
September 4, 2012 in event, serving.
community kitchen served a free meal monday in the 7th ward on Rocheblave & Onzaga St. to residents that had been without power for six straight days. red beans & rice, egg salad, eggplant, and a fresh green salad with veggies were a welcome meal for folks who had to throw out much food from warm refrigerators and many of whom couldn’t cook with their electric stoves. community kitchen also offered a variety of free fresh produce. fruit & vegetables were just as popular as the hot food, and one neighbor commented how the supermarket up on Carrollton had run out of most produce by the time she had arrived there, so this produce distribution was a blessing.
today we’re preparing our regular tuesday meal to serve in Duncan Plaza downtown across from city hall, near the main branch public library, at 3pm.
some of the supplies donated for these meals came from OccupyIsaac and Portlight. Interoccupy is doing a funds & supplies drive to support Community Kitchen, Common Ground, and other relief agencies.
