Your Gift Builds the Kitchen That Feeds Our Community

Teen Kitchen Project is the only nonprofit in Santa Cruz County preparing and delivering medically tailored meals — made from scratch by local high school students — to neighbors living with critical and chronic illness.

We’ve identified the perfect new home for our kitchen in Soquel, signed a long-term lease, completed the design, and secured all our permits. We’re ready to build. We just need to close the funding gap.

Help us build!
