CommonWealth Kitchen is more than a kitchen, it's a community, a community with a purpose. What makes us tick? 

Our Vision: We envision an equitable world and sustainable food system that provide each of us with access to the resources we need to live, learn, work, and thrive.

Our Mission: CommonWealth Kitchen is a collaborative community working to strengthen the local economy, particularly for people who have been impacted by racial, social, and economic inequality. We offer shared kitchens with integrated business assistance, creating and growing dynamic food-based businesses and careers. 

Our Values 

At CommonWealth Kitchen, we are guided by these core values:

Community & Collaboration: We operate in a spirit of collaboration and teamwork, welcoming and supporting each other toward our individual and collective goals.

Equity & Justice: We are agents of change: the current state of our culture, economy and food system is unacceptable. We provide those adversely affected with access to the resources and opportunities they need.

Respect & Diversity: We value diversity of people and of opinions. We respect and listen to one another; we value each individual’s contribution toward our collective greater good.

Learning & Results: Innovation is hard.  We take calculated risks with the intentionality and accountability that ensures learning and results. We clearly state our goals, measure our progress, and learn from our successes and our mistakes.

Honesty & Integrity: We are direct, open and transparent, in our work and in our communications.

Food & Fun: We seek sustenance, creativity and joy so that we can feed our spirit, our families and our community.
