Summary

A home cook is someone who voluntarily cooks a healthy evening meal once or twice a week and shares it with a neighbor for whom cooking is difficult.

Detailed description

The Thuisgekookt Foundation is a social meal service at home for and by neighbors.


A fresh, hot meal on the table every day: it's not a given for everyone. The Thuisgekookt Foundation therefore connects volunteer home cooks who lovingly prepare an extra portion once or twice a week with a neighbor who, due to age, illness, or disability, could use some help with preparing a hot meal.





W

a t does a home cook?



A home cook is someone who voluntarily cooks a healthy evening meal once or twice a week and shares it with a neighbor for whom cooking is difficult.

A home cook enjoys cooking and is happy to make an extra portion to help someone. The meal is picked up, or delivered if the recipient is unable to pick it up themselves.

As a home cook, you cook voluntarily and only charge for the ingredients. When you apply, you'll be added to our database of home cooks. If someone in your area applies, we'll contact you. You decide at the time if the application is a good fit for you.


The Benefits of Becoming a Home Chef

As a home cook, you can make a difference with minimal effort and from the comfort of your own home. By helping a neighbor who struggles to prepare a delicious, fresh meal, you contribute to a connected society where people care for one another. Research shows that home cooks often eat healthier themselves, experience more structure in their daily lives, and consider cooking for a neighbor a valuable way to spend their time.

About Stichting Thuisgekookt

Stichting Thuisgekookt arranges meals at home for anyone who is no longer able to cook themselves every day due to physical or mental complaints. For example, because you are chronically ill, have a disability, feel lonely, or because you have little energy for cooking due to old age or mental illness.

At Stichting Thuisgekookt we strive for a healthy hot meal and meaningful social contact accessible to everyone. That is why we ensure that the meal is offered at cost price and is therefore also available to people with a smaller wallet. For people who cannot afford the cost price, the Thuisgekookt Foundation works with a donation pot, from which the meals can be paid.
