What is Newcomer Kitchen?
Newcomer Kitchen is a nonprofit organization that invites Syrian refugee women to cook a weekly meal in our kitchen. The meals are sold online for pickup or delivery, and the proceeds shared among the cooks. Our goal is to create a model that can be replicated with any newcomer group, in any restaurant kitchen, in any city in the world.
