September 2026
What a lovely start to the month it has been! Warm, sunny days and cool, clear nights reflect the impending seasonal change. We watched through the front window with nostalgia as neighborhood students got off the school bus after their first days. As we enjoy these final weeks of summer, we rest easy knowing that the upcoming fall season brings more opportunities to be thankful.
Funds raised from special community events, like the annual Warrior Challenge in August as well as our monthly Dinner with a Purpose and Sip with a Purpose, allow us to continue to provide nourishing meals for local warrior families. We can’t cure cancer, but we can cook!
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.
August 2026
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.
This collaboration creates a beautiful atmosphere to work together in laughter as we create nutritious meals.
Although we can’t cure cancer, we can cook!
