Cooks Who Care is committed to restaurant community well-being. We provide workers in the F&B industry with mental health resources they need to thrive.
Mental Health is the #1 most important factor needed to be addressed in the food and beverage industry.

As Cooks Who Care, we activated solutions through the power of community after discovering mental health costs are not typically covered under health insurance.
