Partner Spotlight! 💡⭐️
🍽️
The Notre Dame School of Dallas’ STAR Adult Program empowers adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to build fulfilling, independent lives beyond the classroom. Recently expanded to a larger space at East Dallas Christian Church, the program offers continuing education, job training, and life skills development for adults 22 and older. With capacity to serve up to 80 participants across North Texas, STAR fosters growth, community, and inclusion, helping graduates gain confidence, contribute to the workforce, and live with greater independence and purpose.

The STAR program is literally a neighbor to Cooking for the Crowd and a lovely partnership is starting to bloom. The kitchen will provide these program participants with valuable life skills such as chopping, cleaning dishes, cooking and navigating a team environment while also serving others. It’s a heartwarming relationship that we hope fosters goodwill for years to come.

🌟We’re blown away-THANK YOU!🌟

Because of your incredible generosity on , we raised $10,995! 💛

Why does that matter?

Because it means we’re one giant step closer to opening our new kitchen — a space where we’ll cook up 12,000+ meals a year for amazing nonprofits serving teen parents, refugees, trauma survivors, and more. 💪

These orgs do the healing — we make sure they don’t have to worry about what’s for dinner. 🍽️

At Cooking for the Crowd, food is more than fuel. It’s care, connection, and community. And every single donation helps us serve that mission with love.

We’re beyond grateful. Thank you for being part of this. 💫

Meanwhile, the very next day, the gentleman from the Young Men’s Service League were cooking and serving up hot meals at the Refugee Outreach Program at Saint Patrick’s Church. The mission moves forward!

🎉Woohoo! Thanks to everyone’s support, we made the goal! The $5,000 board match turned into $10,000 instantly.

⏳ The day’s flying by. Let’s go BIG. 🎯 Goal Time: Let’s make the overall goal of $20,000 to fully outfit the kitchen. We’re still cooking! The day ain’t over yet!

This sign’s on lunch break.
You could be too—but don’t forget to give while you grub. 🍽️

Every dollar you donate to helps us feed more people, better.
No fluff, just full plates.

🚨 It’s Giving Day! And for those keeping up with our board match - $4,670 is in the coffers! Once we hit $5,000, another $5,000 is unlocked, making $10,000! Our ambitious goal is $20,000 for North Texas Giving Day. This will finish out our kitchen in style to serve more people…

📣 Pictures from the Cooking for the Crowd kitchen! 🍽️

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, earlier this summer we secured the opportunity to occupy a commercial kitchen located in the East Dallas Christian Church complex — near downtown Dallas! 🎉 This space has been underutilized, and now it’s a godsend: Cooking for the Crowd has taken it over so we can expand our operations this fall.

What this means:
➡️We’ll be able to serve more organizations doing critical work in our city — social services, ESL classes, parenting support, legal aid, and more.
➡️Feed people who rely on us for a balanced, hot meal — for many, this might be one of the only ones they get.
➡️Thanks to the City of Dallas, we’re cleared and have all our permits. There are some repairs & upgrades needed in the coming year, but we’re basically ready to roll later this fall!

🙏 We couldn’t have done this without your support, your prayers, and your belief in our mission: to take cooking off the plate of small nonprofits so they can lean into their purpose.

How you can help:
1. Keep sharing this post / our story so more folks know what’s happening.
2. Donate for North Texas Giving Day if you’re able — every bit helps get the kitchen ready and stocked.
3. Keep us on your prayer list.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we’ll cook up more than meals — we’ll cook hope, dignity, and community. 💛
