Carroll’s Kitchen, More Than Just a Kitchen – Raleigh, NC

Carroll’s Kitchen is a great place to visit in Raleigh, North Carolina. They not only have great food here, but they are a non-profit organization with an amazing mission.

Carroll’s Kitchen exist to provide job training and healthy employment for women who are overcoming crisis like addiction, homelessness, incarceration, domestic violence, and more.

They are a nonprofit social enterprise restaurant offering contemporary comfort food at our grab-and-go storefront, and creating healthy employment for women overcoming crisis through our Restorative Employment Model.

Carroll’s Kitchen was named after a Raleigh couple who made it their life’s work to serve people experiencing poverty. Mr. and Mrs. Carroll were a philanthropic couple in downtown Raleigh in the early 20th century. Mr. Carroll opened a soup kitchen during the Spanish flu outbreak in Raleigh, understanding he had the ability to fill some gaps for struggling families. After Mr. Carroll later died in 1918 from the Spanish flu, Mrs. Carroll continued with their commitment to benevolence. She worked with local children’s organizations, as well as Polk Prison Camp counseling prisoners, their families, and aiding a number of them to get parole and find work.

Carroll’s Kitchen’s Restorative Employment Model is a pathway to economic dignity for women overcoming crisis. Their program consists of two program tracks that help support women inside and outside of the kitchen.
