About Our Central Kitchen
Every day, our Central Kitchen nourishes over 500 children at our Children’s Centers across Marin, preparing and distributing nutritious meals. We serve breakfast, lunch, and snacks, often featuring fresh produce from our Production Farm. This effort is made possible through funding from the USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).
Working in partnership with Vivalon Café in San Rafael, our Central Kitchen also provides meal services to older adults at multiple community sites throughout Marin County.
