At Family Cookbook Project, we believe food has always been about more than ingredients. It is about family, comfort, tradition, and caring for one another. That is why we are excited to announce Family Cookbook Project Cooks for a Cause, a new ongoing fundraising program created to help food-related charities make a difference.
Quick Answer: Family Cookbook Project Cooks for a Cause is an ongoing charitable giving program that supports a different food-related nonprofit every three months. Visitors can shop for kitchen-related items at CooksForACause.com, with proceeds benefiting the featured charity. The first beneficiary is World Central Kitchen.
Every three months, we will select a new charity beneficiary and invite our cookbook creators, contributors, friends, families, and the general public to help support that organization. Participants can visit CooksForACause.com to purchase kitchen-related items, with proceeds benefiting the featured charity.
Our first beneficiary is World Central Kitchen, the nonprofit founded by chef José Andrés that provides fresh meals to communities affected by humanitarian, climate, and community crises. World Central Kitchen is often among the first to respond when disaster strikes, bringing food, comfort, and hope to people when they need it most. Their work reflects a belief we share deeply: a meal can do more than feed someone — it can remind them they are not alone.
Why World Central Kitchen Was Chosen First
World Central Kitchen is a natural first beneficiary because its mission reflects the heart of Family Cookbook Project: food connects people, comforts families, and brings hope during difficult times. Founded by chef José Andrés, WCK provides fresh meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises. Supporting WCK through Cooks for a Cause lets the Family Cookbook Project community extend the power of food beyond family tables to people facing urgent need.

Why Cookbook Editors and Contributors Make Great Supporters
Family Cookbook Project editors already understand that food can tell stories, preserve memories, and bring people together. Cooks for a Cause gives that same community a simple way to help others through food-related giving. If you are creating a family cookbook, sharing this program with your contributors is a natural way to connect your family’s love of cooking with a larger purpose.
Together, the Family Cookbook Project community can help preserve treasured recipes, celebrate the joy of cooking, and support organizations that are feeding hope around the world.
