About

Community Cooks is a nonprofit that mobilizes hundreds of volunteers who make home-cooked meals for hungry and vulnerable neighbors in their community. For 30 years, we've been bringing our home-cooked meals to people in shelters, low-income families, seniors and students, at-risk women and youth, veterans and so many who are struggling.

Volunteer Cooks are assigned to a team to cook for a specific agency in their area. Once a month Cooks make a specific course of a meal (main course, veggies/salad, dessert, etc.) in their own home and deliver it to a designated drop-off location. Others prepare snack packs (sandwiches, carrots, apples, cookies) for students in after school and weekend programs.

Educational Activities

Create the Change® partners with nonprofit organizations that we believe offer age-appropriate service opportunities for youth and families. All of our partners sign a collaboration agreement promising to provide age-appropriate activities in a safe environment. 

 

Create the Change® does not run, host, or facilitate the service opportunities seen here, nor are we responsible in any way for the management (financial or otherwise) of the organizations we feature.

 

Always be sure to do your own research on the nonprofit organization and service opportunities available to make sure it's a good fit for you before getting started. You may find the organization's contact information on their profiles.
