Giving Back Program

At Cook, Cork & Fork and The Cork, community is at the heart of everything we do. Through our Give Back Program, we partner with local charities and nonprofit organizations throughout the year to help make a meaningful impact in the communities we serve.

Each month, we spotlight a different organization and support their mission through special fundraising initiatives, awareness campaigns, and community engagement opportunities — including a monthly Give Back Saturday, where 10% of that day's sales are donated directly to the spotlighted charity. The date varies each month, so be sure to check our upcoming events, newsletter, or social media for the latest Give Back Saturday.

Our partner charities are chosen by you. Nominations open each year, and our newsletter subscribers help select the following year's lineup each November, with the final charities announced that December. Know an organization that deserves a spotlight?  Submit your nomination today!

Each month, we feature a local charity making a difference in our community. Learn more about this month's organization, their mission, upcoming fundraising efforts, and how your visit can help support their cause.  Remember that everytime you visit us, you can round up your purchase and make sure to visit us on the Give Back Day to help us send 10% of our sales to the monthly charity.

Throughout the year, we proudly support a variety of local charities and nonprofit organizations focused on education, community enrichment, health, youth programs, and social services. Explore our current charity partners and learn more about the incredible work they do throughout the year.  These charities were nominated and selected by you and we are proud to support them all year.

At Cook, Cork & Fork, community isn't just something we talk about — it's something we put into action. We're proud to open our doors for fundraising events that support the causes our neighbors care about most, having hosted organizations like OMNI Youth Services and The Mental Health Board Project.

Whether it's a hands-on cooking class for a cause or a Bites & Bottles evening of wine and small bites, we'll help you turn a night out into something that gives back. Reach out to learn how we can host your next fundraiser.

We only contribute to registered 501(c) charities.

Our corporate giving philosophy is to fund local organizations that benefit and offer services to our community. Therefore, we contribute only to organizations that offer non-sectarian, non-political services to our community at large.

We give preference to those organizations that provide a link back from the organizations web page back to our web page. Any link back from another webpage provides us with a better search engine ranking.

We are pleased to support various causes through our giving policy, although we are not able to honor every request that is made of us.
