OCA Community Kitchen is on a mission to combat food poverty, enhance health and well-being, and foster integration for Latin American immigrants in the UK.


One of the standout programs offered by OCA Community Kitchen is the 'The Great Little Chefs project' attended by children with parents and the 'OCA Healthy Cooking Class' for Adults which were both delivered 04 - 25 April 2024 in Draper Together, Elephant and Castle.

These classes not only teach valuable culinary skills but also celebrate and preserve the rich culinary heritage of the Latin American community. Participants learn how to create traditional dishes, fostering a sense of pride in their cultural background.






But OCA Community Kitchen doesn't stop there. Recognizing the importance of language in integration, they also offer English classes for recent migrants. These classes not only help individuals communicate effectively in their new environment but also serve as a platform for building relationships and connections within the community.



As OCA Community Kitchen continues to expand its reach and impact, they are seeking to raise awareness and attract more support through charitable donations. By showcasing the incredible work they are doing and the positive impact they are having on the community, they hope to inspire others to join their cause and make a difference in the lives of Latin American immigrants in the UK.

Through their dedication to empowerment through food, OCA Community Kitchen is not only nourishing bodies but also nourishing souls and fostering a sense of belonging and community among Latin American immigrants. It is through initiatives like these that we can truly make a difference and create a more inclusive and supportive society for all.
