A new kind of community.

Refugee-status chefs prepare traditional meals… you experience new cultures.

Culinary Connections is a platform for women to share their culture with their new communities- while also supporting their families.

As a collective of partner organizations, we empower newly arrived refugee and immigrant women by facilitating food handling certification, developing fundamental business skills and providing paid opportunities to share their culinary heritage. Through Culinary Connections, we foster cross-cultural understanding, build meaningful connections, and create pathways toward economic independence for women.

Welcome COS is proud to be a founding member of the Culinary Connections collective. Visit our program website for more information and to order a meal!
