Community Table Kitchen has a triple bottom line.
At Community Table Kitchen we not only provide access to nutritious meals to hungry, low income individuals and families, we provide jobs and job training for participants in our Ready to Work program. As a social enterprise, Community Table Kitchen generates revenue to create jobs and support our mission through wholesale production contracts with local food brands, as a caterer, and café operator.
Community Table Kitchen demonstrates what is possible when mission and business marry.
Opened in 2013, and often described as the most dynamic kitchen in Boulder, Community Table Kitchen transforms lives one bite at a time.

We have a triple bottom line.
First, at Community Table Kitchen we produce meals for hungry people who have no other access to food. We prepare that meals are healthy, nutritious and balanced by cooking in real-time, from scratch. We partner with our local food bank, Community Food Share, to access donated ingredients and collaborate with our own Community Table meal program hosted at Path to Home to serve over 80,000 meals a year to people experiencing homelessness.
Second, Community Table Kitchen creates employment opportunities by providing jobs and job training for Ready to Work trainees. We offer meaningful paid work that builds a resume and real-world work experience. Through a mix of on-the-job and classroom training, Community Table Kitchen trainees are taught knife skills, food prep and production, and safe food handling. Trainees complete the ServSafe certification prior to graduating into a full-time food service job.
Third, under the leadership of Executive Chef John Trejo, Community Table Kitchen runs three market-based lines of business - catering, wholesale and café operations. We offer customers competitive, top notch quality and service. Through these ventures, Community Table Kitchen earns revenue to support operations and our social mission.
