Cathedral Kitchen’s mission is to help people out of food insecurity and champion their pursuit of stability and prosperity.

We provide nutritious meals for food-insecure residents of Camden and the surrounding areas.

• We serve dinner Monday through Friday from 3:15 to 5:00 PM and lunch on Saturdays from 12:00 to 1:00 PM.
• Food served at CK is cooked on the premises, and our guests are given the option to be served restaurant-style in the dining room or take their meal to-go.
• The hot meal consists of an entrée, a vegetable or salad, a side dish, and a beverage.
• We also provide meals for local after-school programs, and groceries for low-income senior centers, and send donated food to local pantries, churches, and other nonprofit organizations that also serve our client population.

Job Training
The Culinary Arts Training Program operates for 15 weeks, three times a year. The program includes classroom instruction in culinary arts, plus ServSafe certification training, life skills, financial literacy, and interviewing skills training. Graduates are assisted with job placement and over 86 percent of graduates find employment during the first three months following graduation.

Supportive Services

• Our Empowerment Team meets with guests and assists them with their needs such as obtaining ID and counseling.
• CK partners with several neighboring organizations and businesses that provide services during meal hours, such as housing & utility assistance, mental health & substance use treatment, HIV testing, and domestic violence advocacy.
• Monday through Friday, from 2:45 to 5:00 PM,  individuals and families can “shop” for free groceries through a choice-model distribution service at our Marketstand.
• Our personal care service is offered every Monday from 2:30 to 5:00 PM. Guests can select items they need for the week (underwear, socks, soap, body lotion, feminine hygiene items, etc.).

Social Enterprise

• CK operates social enterprises that help sustain our programming while also creating jobs in Camden.
• The businesses consist of CK Catering from the Heart and a contract with Volunteers of America to deliver meals daily to Camden halfway houses and homeless shelters.
