At Inspiration Kitchens we’ve always believed in using food as a vehicle to change lives. Ever since a former Chicago police officer named Lisa Nigro founded our parent organization Inspiration Corporation in 1989 by handing out sandwiches and coffee to homeless men and women from the back of a little red wagon, we’ve been in the business of providing dignity, respect, and opportunity to Chicagoans who are too often left out in the cold. When you dine at Inspiration Kitchens or book us for a catering gig, you’re supporting men and women who are learning in our kitchens and building the foundations to overcome homelessness and poverty and build a better future.
