So what exactly is Philly Cooks for Philly? These two numbers will help make things clear. 15 and 0. These two numbers are why we need you. 🫵🏼When we started this project, the City of Philadelphia and its School District were contracting for over 15 million pre-plated meals annually, paid with public money, to feed the youth of our city - the city with the biggest potential in America.Yet ZERO Philadelphians are employed to produce those meals, and ZERO local producers supply product or services to support production. We export those taxpayer dollars out of state and then those funds are shipped back to us in the form of meals. Philly Cooks aims to fix that! And this is where you come in.The goal of Philly Cooks for Philly is to have those meals produced here, in a new commercial scale central kitchen. For our local residents: accessible new jobs in a food industry career empowerment center; plus the involvement of our local suppliers. It's a big project: a $50- $60 million investment in a 75,000 - 100,000 SF central kitchen with warehousing, production and distribution functions, employing several hundred people from PHILLY neighborhoods.All this through the power of food: quality scratch-cooked meals made with whole food ingredients.Getting this done will require your knowledge, connections, support and more than a little passion.
