About Us

Compassionate Chefs Cafe (CCC) is a San Francisco-based non-profit organization with one goal: To help children locally and globally. We work with members of the members of the Bay Area community to raise funds for the children across the street and across the ocean. This is an experiment to see what happens when a community comprised of caring people, business owners and local chefs all focus their generosity.
Your donations will help us create more global citizens. Please give generously to make this dream a reality.

Our Projects

Across the street, we support the Tenderloin After School Program - which provides valuable services to the kids of the families living in the Tenderloin district of San Fancisco. TASP provides kids with a safe place to be, where they can play and study and the proper support and training necessary to succeed in life.

Across the ocean, we’ve adopted the Gandhi Ashram at Kingsway Camp in New Delhi, India to help uplift the underprivileged. At this location, we are helping to fund the school for children of Harijan (untouchable) Street Cleaners. These children will help ti uplift their improvrished communities from within. It is the most basic of all human needs to be clean and have nurturing human touch.

Where the Funds Go

Last year $26,000 was raised by Compassionate Chefs Cafe. The funds kept TASP’s doors open and available to over 250 kids for 40 hours a week, sent 16 kids on a visit to colleges in Chicago and helped provide free homework tutoring five nights a week.

At the Gandhi Ashram, our donation provided clean water and new bathrooms to the school, bought new uniforms and provided school supplies to all 300 students. Learn more details at www.CompassionateChefsCafe.org

How You Can Help: Make a donation with cash, check or credit card in any amount. Or buy a ticket to our Anniversary Celebration.
