community kitchens
Neighborhood meal facilities
Community kitchens are shared cooking spaces where people prepare meals together, typically organized to address food insecurity, reduce costs, or build social connections.
Participants often pool resources and labor: The community kitchen serves hot lunches to seniors three days a week.
The term also applies to commercial kitchens rented by multiple food businesses or caterers who lack their own facilities.
