Food Connects US
Food is Therapy. Food is History.
Our Mission
Cooks Who Care creates community experiences where cooking, storytelling, and shared meals bring people together. Through hands-on events, films, and collaborative projects, we use food to strengthen mental well-being, preserve culinary heritage, and inspire people to care for one another.

Keep On Walking
“When life throws roadblocks in your path, you just have to Keep on Walking”
Introducing the new Cooks Who Care video series “Keep On Walking.” We’re collaborating with iLovett Films and Monetize Philly to share the stories of individuals who have built careers in the Restaurant Industry and kept on walking, even as they struggled with situations that compromised their mental health. It’s a series of honest and open filmed conversations, with guests sharing their experiences just to let others know they are not alone. The stories are both powerful and inspiring, showing how strong people can be on their journeys to healing and health. Find new clips on our CWC YouTube Channel and Instagram.
