Cathedral Kitchen

Cathedral Kitchen uses food to change lives. We use food to nourish, train and employ people to offer them hope for improving their lives. We are working to feed and energize a healthy community. We provide a hot, nutritious meal six days a week in our dining room, and average of 300 meals per day. We provide an additional 200 meals a day to local shelters and after school programs, as well as other Camden organizations. The food we serve is cooked fresh daily on the premises by our staff and is served by volunteers. Culinary/Baking Arts Training Program: We offer a 17 week training program to those who are those who are homeless, indigent or unemployed. By completing this 17 week program, students gain skills that will enable them to find employment in the food service industry. In additional to cooking instruction, the students also attend life skills training and financial management classes. The course includes a two week off site internship. Our Case Manager works with each student to help them find employment after graduation. The Project Smiles Dental clinic provides free dental care to patients without dental insurance or access to care. Volunteer dentists and hygienists staff the clinic, which is open two days per week. We also partner with other agencies to provide general healthcare, eye exams and legal advice on-site to assist our dinner guests and Job Training students.
