Our training team had such a great time at the 2026 Catalyst Kitchens Southwest Regional Summit in San Francisco! It was a great opportunity to connect, learn, and share ideas with others doing this work.

We’ll be making our own post about the experience soon, but in the meantime, thank you to Catalyst Kitchens and Farming Hope for hosting us!

We’re excited to share that Caridad Community Kitchen was recently recognized by March of Dimes for our partnership with the UA Mobile Health Program! 💜

Caridad hosted the mobile health unit each month during our meal service, helping bring health resources directly to our community.

A special shout-out to Marcella for representing Caridad and accepting this award on our behalf! We’re grateful to March of Dimes and the UA Mobile Health Program for this recognition and for the work they do in our community.

Caridad Community Kitchen’s official team, The Flavonoids, brought in over $7,000 this year, making it our biggest fundraising year yet!

We’re so grateful to our donors and our 66 team members, including staff, volunteers, and community members who joined us in person, virtually, or from other cities - even from as far as Vancouver, Canada!

Thank you for showing up for our community. We can’t wait to do it again next year!

Class 44 is officially underway!

Our 11 new students have brought some amazing energy into the kitchen. And in just their first week, they’ve sharpened their knife skills while cutting more than 400 pounds each of onions and potatoes that will go into our community meals, learned how to supreme oranges, and practiced breaking down melons.

We’re excited to see where these skills take them. Welcome to the kitchen, Class 44!

To reflect our Community Meals shift from cold sack lunches to hot bowl meals, we added this awesome new icon to our kitchen walls!

Check it out next time you stop by the lobby, and try one of our bowl meals by visiting any of our hot meals partners.

Our Culinary Training team spent this week connecting with other workforce development programs and learning from the incredible work happening in our community and beyond.

We visited two local organizations, GAP Ministries and Gospel Rescue Mission, as well as Root North Shore in Salem, MA. Each organization gave us a unique look at their programs, training models, and the ways they support their communities.

We love seeing fun fruit make its way into the kitchen! Our team received a donation of yellow watermelons and turned them into colorful electrolyte popsicles.

We’re always looking for tasty and creative ways to help our guests stay cool and hydrated during those high Tucson temps!

If you’ve been in the kitchen lately, you may have met our newest team member, Josh!

If Josh looks familiar, that’s because he graduated from our Culinary Training Program just three months ago with Class 42.

Now, Josh is back as a Temporary Prep Cook on our Kitchen Production team, and we couldn’t be more excited to have one of our alumni on staff! Josh has already had plenty of great things to say about being part of the team, and we’re pretty happy to have him here, too.

Josh will be with us through at least October 1st, so if you see him around the kitchen, be sure to say hi!
