1 in 7 children in Wake County face hunger. Together, we can change that.
At Our Giving Kitchen, we believe in the power of community and the joy of giving. Every month, kind hearted folks from across Raleigh gather in our kitchen to prepare fresh, nutritious meals that get delivered to neighbors in need the very same day.

Our recipe?
Fresh ingredients, volunteer cooks, and a heart to serve
We're not your typical soup kitchen or food pantry. We're an inclusive, non-denominational extension of the Raleigh Jewish community that welcomes volunteers of all backgrounds for a hands-on, interactive way to give back to our community.
♥ FRESH MEALS MADE WITH LOVE
Every nutritious meal is made from scratch using high-quality ingredients and delivered the same day to local families in need.

Every OGK session offers an engaging, interactive experience that's anything but ordinary, just meaningful work and great people.
