About

Veterans Homeless is a huge problem, and some might say even an epidemic. At Culinary Arts Boot Camp for Veterans, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Denver, Colorado, we are working to solve this problem in our community through the culinary arts and veterans supporting veterans.

This is no ordinary culinary program; it is a program that supports homeless veterans and those veterans in transition with free culinary training and the camaraderie and fidelity of fellow veterans. Working together and knowing the unique needs and background of veterans have, we can support their success and reintegration into the community. Read about our mission and vision »

We are on the move and that move is to make a change!
