Cathy Kossack is a chef and food justice organizer with education in visual arts and international studies with a deep passion for feeding people. For five years she worked at Headlands Center for the Arts, first on the programmatic side but quickly found her way into the kitchen being drawn to food’s natural way of facilitating togetherness. In recent years she’s worked with World Central Kitchen, a global NGO run by chefs who respond to disasters around the world feeding displaced people including Poland-Ukraine boarder, Haiti, Turkey, and others including her home in Northern California.
The power of radical hospitality is her driving force, providing compassion and dignity through thoughtful food. Giving a hot meal to someone made with care and intention says to them you are seen, you are heard, you are cared for.
