You are an essential part of this journey

At Happy Place Cooking Space, your donation goes far beyond ingredients—it helps us create life-changing opportunities through hands-on cooking education. Every gift supports accessible, useful programming, such as our small groups designed for adults with disabilities who are living or learning to live independently. These classes build confidence, life skills, and community—one recipe at a time.

Your support also helps us subsidize the cost of our kids’ programs, making it possible for more families to access joyful, skill-building kitchen experiences regardless of financial circumstances. Whether it’s a child learning to make their first meal or an adult gaining the tools for independent living, your donation helps make the kitchen a truly happy, welcoming place for everyone.

Every donation, big or small, helps open the door of our kitchen to someone who really wants to be there. Your gift creates a ripple effect—empowering future students, supporting families, and strengthening our community for years to come.

Interested in making a larger contribution?

There are two things we pulled off our building plan to be able to open: a commercial dishwasher ($8000), and a dry bar counter and cabinet area ($3000).

Please reach out us directly at hello@happyplacecookingspace.org if you are interested in being an exclusive sponsor for one of these items. We are so, so grateful for your support!

Thank you so much for your support!
