Our Mission is to fill community requests on a local, regional and national scale through the contribution of foodservice equipment and supplies, as well as funding for capital purchases and other needs.

Cooking Up Better Lives seeks to improve the functionality, efficiency and value of community-based non-profit programs. It is the vision that shelters, homes, hospitals and other community-based entities in need of foodservice products or funds, have the opportunity to receive and leverage such contributions.
