Our Team

Our dedicated team of volunteers is committed to feeding those experiencing food insecurity. We are a diverse group working together to serve the unhoused population in San Jose, CA. Would you like to join our team? Get in touch for more information!

Our History

Octavia's Kitchen was founded in 2020 in response to the growing issue of homelessness and food insecurity in San Jose during the COVID-19 pandemic. The initiative started when Octavia's son noticed the struggles of the unhoused community in downtown San Jose and felt motivated to make a difference. Octavia's family soon came together to prepare and serve healthy meals for those facing hardships in the community. 


Octavia's Kitchen actively engaged with the San Jose community, listening to the stories of the people we served. The team soon realized that the need extended beyond just meals; our clients also required resources, support, and a sense of community. Octavia's Kitchen is a testament to the strength and resilience of our community. 

Our Mission

Our mission is to ensure everyone can access healthy and nutritious meals, regardless of their circumstances. We aim to improve the quality of life by alleviating hunger and empowering individuals with the resources and support their need to achieve self-sufficiency.
