    The cost of a meal for two people at a restaurant - $50 - will feed 20 people here at the Cathedral Kitchen. Your donation will go far toward easing the hunger that still exists every day in Camden.

    Friends of the Cathedral Kitchen

    The Cathedral Kitchen relies upon the private contributions of hundreds of individuals to help fund its program. These contributors make up the Friends of the Cathedral Kitchen. Without this financial support, it would be impossible to continue to feed all of the people who have come to rely on the Kitchen for meals. If you are interested in making a financial contribution, please contact us or click on the JustGive button below to make an online donation.

    Fundraiser in a Box
    Hold your own fund raiser and donate the proceeds to Cathedral Kitchen (CK). You can also help spread the word about the work of the Kitchen by having printed materials about CK at your event.

    Here are some examples:

     

    • Have a garage sale
    • Hold a neighborhood event, like a cook-off or BBQ
    • Organize a walk or run for hunger with friends and family
    • Hold a "fight hunger" dinner party, luncheon or high tea at your home requesting a donation to CK to attend
    • Hold a bake sale or have a lemonade stand

    • If you own a business, have a percentage of the receipts for a day or week go to support CK and publicize it your customers
    • Use your imagination!

     

    If you would like more information or have printed material to distribute as part of your fund raiser, contact Karen Talarico at 856-753-1159 or karentalarico@verizon.net
