OUR STORY

MORE THAN A CAFE + CATERING BUSINESS

As part of the HopeWorks Social Enterprises, we offer hands-on job training to formerly homeless and low-income individuals who need a fresh start.

We believe that food is one of life’s most powerful shared experiences. Every meal from Kindred Kitchen is chance to gather and connect with friends and neighbors. To recharge. To slow down and find joy in the moment.

From our locally-sourced ingredients, to our welcoming space, and a service philosophy grounded in dignity and respect, Kindred Kitchen is where the community can feel nourished and cared for.

More than a Job

Kindred Kitchen, like all of HopeWorks’ social enterprises, is more than a brick-and-mortar business. Nearly every role in our operation, from front-of-house to behind-the-scenes, is filled by someone working their way from adversity to opportunity.

Youth and young adult trainees are given the opportunity to learn the technical skills of food preparation along with the soft skills of workplace success, such as problem solving and customer service. By the end of their internship, trainees have the skills and confidence they need to pursue stable employment and break the cycle of poverty.

Community Transformation

Kindred Kitchen is located on the ground level of HopeWorks Station, a state-of the art sustainable building that gives hope a home.

Built on what was once an underutilized industrial area near downtown Everett, this 5-story ultra high energy efficient development will anchor a bustling hub of affordable housing, social services and career opportunities for members of our community looking to get stabilized.

Along with Housing Hope and the other HopeWorks businesses, this project represents a new chapter in the economic vitality of our region.
