We’re kicking off our year-end campaign… A Recipe For Possibility, by celebrating the joy, creativity and community that come to life in the L’Arche Culinary Program and in our future L’Arche Café.

Every week, our kitchen is filled with Core Members learning new skills, cooking for one another, discovering strengths they didn’t know they had, and expressing themselves through food. The Café will take this even further—a welcoming public space where Core Members can share their gifts, serve neighbors and build confidence through meaningful work.

🍽️ Our goal: Raise $50,000 by the end of 2025.
We’re just two weeks away from Giving Tuesday and aiming to reach 50% of our goal before that day arrives.

Your support today helps bring the Café to life and strengthens a program that is already transforming daily life at L’Arche Boston North.

Your gift will help us:
• Equip our kitchen for expanded hands-on learning
• Provide training in cooking, hospitality and customer service
• Open the doors to the new L’Arche Café—a space of welcome, dignity and belonging for all

Throughout this campaign, we’ll be sharing stories from Core Members about what the Culinary Program means to them—and what they’re most excited for in the Café. Their voices will guide the way.

💛 If you’re able, please make an early gift to help us reach the halfway point by Giving Tuesday.
Every dollar is an essential ingredient in this Recipe for Possibility.
