OUR STORY
THE VISION AND MISSION
The real purpose of Newcomer Kitchen is a place where a remarkably diverse group of women meet and share a passion for food and the social and economic possibilities that passion presents. Food builds connection. From celebrating culinary traditions to creating future business ventures Newcomer Kitchen seeks to facilitate and foster prosperity and positive contributions in our communities.

THE IMPACT
Over 150 newcomer women have experienced Newcomer Kitchen from the early years of Syrian food pop-ups to the development of a comprehensive food entrepreneurship training program to the establishment of a food business incubator. The social and economic impact of those interactions have multiple dimensions. However two themes remains consistent.
- An increased sense of belonging and the growth of identity in Canada
- Developing skill sets that build economic self sufficiency and independence
IN THE NEWS
Newcomer Kitchen has received a remarkable amount of local, national and international attention over the years. Perhaps because at its heart this project is about love and compassion and seeks to find simple solutions to complex problems in ways that connect people and communities.
