OUR SOLUTIONS
​
WHO WE ARE
Bracken’s Kitchen is a 501(c)(3) organization based in Orange County California. Founded in 2013 our mission is simple: Through food rescue, culinary training and our community feeding program we are committed to rescuing, re-purposing and restoring both food and lives.
The heart of who we are can be found in a statement first uttered in 1957 by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr; “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others?”
At the core of our mission is a deep commitment to our nonprofit charity partners, business and professional supporters, volunteers, donors and employees. Our relationship with each and every one of these groups is as important to us as those we feed.
With their help we are committed to providing over 2 million tasty and nutritious meals in 2024.

"I heard about your charity through a close friend of mine DC and I used your services once at the beginning of the pandemic. At that time my paycheck had been cut by 30% - it was a tough and scary time. I appreciated your assistance tremendously. Thanks to my amazing company I was up at my regular pay shortly after that time. Recently, my company asked me to spend $20.00 of their money on giving back to my community. I thought about how Bracken’s Kitchen helped my family at the time I needed it. This is a great opportunity for me to let you know this and show you how grateful I am. I will give you Smart Circle’s $20.00 plus $30.00 of my own as a thank you. I wish it was a larger amount hopefully in the future it will be."
Sincerely, KN
"My son goes to the Boys and Girls Club in Buena Park and tonight your truck was there providing dinner to the kids and their families, and gave us a boxed Thanksgiving dinner to take home. I just wanted to express my extreme gratitude for the kindness everyone had shown all of us, and for the food and dinners you provided. I am grateful as I'm sure many of the families are as well, and just wanted to reach out to say thank you so much from me to you for your generosity and for what you do for the community. Thank you all!"
