OUR STORY

MORE THAN A CAFE + CATERING BUSINESS

As part of HopeWorks Social Enterprises, we offer hands-on job training to individuals experiencing barriers to employment and want 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. From our locally sourced ingredients and our welcoming space to 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. All profits go back into our robust job training programs. Within, trainees in our twelve-week job training program are given the opportunity to learn the technical skills of food preparation along with transferrable skills of workplace success, such as problem solving and customer service. By the end of their training, graduates have the skills and confidence they need to pursue stable living-wage employment.

Community Transformation

Kindred Kitchen is located on the ground level of HopeWorks Station North, 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 five-story LEED-Platinum certified development anchors a bustling hub of affordable housing, social services and career opportunities for members of our community looking for stability.

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

Expanding Partnerships

Kindred Kitchen works closely with other nonprofits in the region to best serve our customers, staff, and business partners. Farms For Life is one such amazing organization that we work with to get fresh ingredients for our cafe and catering. Their goal is to reduce on-farm waste, and increase access to healthy produce for underserved communities, and through generous donations are able to work with local farms to purchase surplus produce they have. They are then able to donate the produce to local community agencies that provide essential services to our neighbors in need, like us at Kindred Kitchen!
