Eastmont Community Center

Eastmont Community Center’s Community Kitchen is reimagining workforce inclusion by equipping older adults and adults with disabilities with culinary training and entrepreneurship pathways. At a time when fixed incomes fall short and opportunities are limited; we’re investing in a population with experience and talent to strengthen the local food economy and spark income-generating opportunities.

Eastmont Community Center’s community kitchen will serve as a centralized hub in unincorporated East Los Angeles, being the first commercial kitchen social enterprise introduced in its location. Eastmont sets its Corazón (heart) on bridging the gap between access to fresh foods and prepared hot meals to underserved communities. Eastmont brings together these members in one central space to learn from each other, providing future opportunities and resources to move forward to establish an equitable life.
