When most people think of mental health support, they imagine counseling sessions or therapy groups. But sometimes, recovery begins with something much simpler: a warm meal shared in a safe and welcoming space. That’s the heart of the Veteran and Community Kitchen, a unique initiative led by Anxious Minds in the North East.
Every week, the kitchen provides over 1,400 hot meals to veterans, families, and community members who are struggling. But this project is about so much more than food. It’s about dignity, connection, and hope.
