Mission: Mama's Kitchen is the only organization in San Diego County delivering breakfast, lunch and dinner to individuals and families vulnerable to hunger due to HIV, cancer, or other critical illnesses, for every day of the year, on a county-wide basis, free of charge.

Founded in 1990, Mama's Kitchen delivers nourishment, hope and a helping hand to people battling malnutrition and hunger, isolation and a life-threatening illness.

In addition, Mama's Kitchen provides a free pantry program for low-income, HIV positive people who are strong enough to provide for themselves, but who cannot afford to purchase groceries regularly.

Mama's Kitchen is committed to fighting HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other critical illnesses through the power of nutrition. Approximately 1,431 volunteers join 29 paid employees to provide health and hope to an estimated 2,000 San Diego County residents annually.

Mama's Kitchen is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 1995, and donations are tax-deductible.
