OAKLAND, Calif. - Marylandian -- The Town Kitchen, PBC launches "TTK Provisions" a new Direct To Consumer household essentials and food delivery service. Given the unprecedented impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Town Kitchen is now providing home essentials like toilet paper, paper towels, and disinfectants, as well as, a rotating menu of sustainably packaged, ready to eat family meals crafted by award-winning chefs.

By ordering through  TTK Provisions, Bay Area families will not only receive high-quality products delivered to their door, but they will help generate hours of employment and apprenticeship for Bay Area youth.

Established in 2015 as a Public Benefit Company serving corporate catering needs, The Town Kitchen employs and empowers, foster and re-entry youth in the San Francisco Bay Area. TTK has 45 hourly employees who want to continue to work while helping other families have access to the basic home essentials they need. TTK Provisions was formed in an effort to keep the team working in a safe and impactful way.

These delivery menus will feature fresh, seasonal ingredients and food products sourced from local women and minority-owned businesses. The Town Kitchen takes food safety and COVID-19 very seriously and has elevated its already high standards with strict employee protocols to ensure the health and safety of its employees and customers.  In addition, customers can also purchase digital gift baskets to donate groceries to West Valley Community Services and Oakland-based Feed the Hood, both organizations serve the most vulnerable members of our community
