Open Heart Kitchen's mission is "Equitable access to nutritious foods today, while building a food secure tomorrow." 

Founded in 1995 as a small, grassroots effort to address hunger in the Tri-Valley, Open Heart Kitchen serves meals at multiple locations in Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton, California. There is no qualifying process and meals may be eaten at our multiple serving sites or taken to go. We work in cooperation with local food pantries and various Tri-­Valley nonprofits whose missions promote nutrition and hunger relief.

With dignity and respect, we serve people in need through four meal programs: the hot meal program, the senior meal program, the street outreach program, and the grocery distribution program.

Guests come from all walks of life and Open Heart Kitchen has become a safety net to those in need during challenging times.
