Ways to Help Carole’s Kitchen

At Carole’s Kitchen, we believe that a shared meal—and the love behind it—can change lives. If you’re looking for a way to give back, we have several meaningful ways you can get involved and support students and families in our community.

Make a Donation

Your financial support helps us fight childhood hunger and grow programs like the Recipe of the Month Club.

Donations also allow Carole’s Kitchen to respond quickly when urgent needs arise—whether it’s meals for a student in crisis, supplies for a school pantry, or support for a new program serving local kids.

Every dollar goes toward providing food, supplies, and resources for students in need.

Thank you for helping us honor Carole and Meaghan’s legacy—one meal, one child, and one act of kindness at a time.

Give Back to Your Alma Mater

Did you attend a JCPS school? Join fellow alumni who are creating real impact in their former classrooms.

For example, the Seneca High School Class of 1976 started a Recipe of the Month Club—a program where students receive healthy ingredients, recipes, and cooking tools to prepare meals for themselves and their families.

Let us help you launch a similar program at your alma mater.
