Mission

We are a nonprofit that hosts events. We sell tickets to a coursed dinner, cover the cost of the food and donate the rest to other charities that our patrons want the dinner hosted for. Cooking Cares also hosts a now annual Blood Drive in honor of a past friend Doug Severance, we host it in conjunction with Red Cross and provide a pancake breakfast. Lastly, we have a Toys for Tots toy drive now annually around Christmas time.

Program accomplishments

  • At Cooking Cares, our mission is simple: bring people together over delicious, elevated dinners while supporting charitable causes. We host intimate dinner parties for 6-10 guests, where Chef Ben serves up expertly coursed and themed meals, while Kayla adds the perfect touch of hospitality and ambiance. The best part? 100% of proceeds after the food costs go directly to charities chosen by our patrons, making sure each dinner leaves a lasting impact on those in need. By sharing our passion for cooking and hosting, we're creating a space for community, generosity, and change. Together, we can make a difference - one plate at a time.
