We have room at the Caring Community Cuisine café for many unique characters who make our mission work. We often joke that our daily production and conversations could be the basis of a comedy show!
A typical Tuesday features:
Chef Jonathan prepares meals for the restaurant. He also ensures that everything is made with quality and love.
Gary assists Chef Jonathan with preparation and packaging of warrior meals.
Meanwhile, Bert, "AKA the Queen of Pancakes", plates delicious creations and shares stories from the past.
All meals are ready to be thoughtfully organized into cooler bags by Sue.
Sami and Tori work together to welcome guests, while ensuring all labels/instructions are ready for each meal. They also customize special surprises for our warriors, such as vibrant bouquets, mini whoopie pies, or tasty herb lemonade.
Chef Selena mingles throughout, lending a hand where needed and offering words of encouragement.
If you are able, please visit the café or Donate on our website. More funds equals more meals prepared, more families served, and more compassion in the world.
This collaboration creates a beautiful atmosphere to work together in laughter as we create nutritious meals.
July 2026
Summer is here and the gardens are in bloom
The 4th of July weekend brought so many memorable moments - from fireworks, to BBQ's, as well as new and familiar faces at the café. We happily welcome the warm weather, knowing that it brings about many delicious, local ingredients and more café visitors!
Our friends from the West Kennebunk Community Garden and Dempsey Garden provide us with fresh ingredients for our warrior meals, including bright green garlic scapes and Swiss chard.
The CCC garden boxes are also blooming brightly with many herbs and flowers, which are used daily in the café.
Summer also provides so many reasons to celebrate and gather! The CCC team has already hosted several private events this season. Our 2 Pier Road location serves as a beautiful spot to dine, reconnect, and build community. All money spent directly supports our mission. We can’t cure cancer, but we can cook!

One of our pillars at Caring Community Cuisine is “community” and this is such a fantastic one to be a part of! From soup dinners, sponsorships, to concerts, we feel the support of our community. These fundraising events have not only helped monetarily, but also have allowed us to share our mission with larger Maine areas. Thank you to our community for continuing to amplify and support our mission!
