At Carroll's Kitchen, we are a nonprofit social enterprise restaurant on a mission to create healthy employment opportunities for women overcoming crisis. Our grab-and-go storefront offers contemporary comfort food, while also providing a platform for women to rebuild their lives through our Restorative Employment Model. Through this model, we empower women recovering from traumas such as addiction, homelessness, incarceration, domestic violence, and more.

Since our doors opened in September 2016, we have helped 26 women (and counting) through our Restorative Employment Model. Some have moved on to other employment, while others have stayed with us, flourishing in our supportive community. Our focus goes beyond just employment - we also operate a teaching kitchen that helps develop culinary and individual skills, fostering social stability.

Carroll's Kitchen is named after a philanthropic couple in downtown Raleigh, Mr. Carroll, who dedicated their lives to serving those experiencing poverty. Inspired by their legacy, our Leadership Team, Board of Directors, and Community Partners are dedicated to creating a world of dignity and purpose.
