The Kitchen

We intend to build a central kitchen that will produce nearly 20 million meals annually.

75,000 square feet at minimum
Operated by the School District of Philadelphia
Mission-aligned strategy and programming oversight provided by Philly Cooks for Philly
A tax-exempt entity with a financial plan designed to break even, creating service and supply opportunities for local for-profit businesses

Philadelphia can do this!

Other cities have taken on this challenge and succeeded. Central kitchens are flourishing in Springfield, MA; Oakland, CA; Washington, D.C.; Sacramento, CA and Boulder Valley, CO.
