Building Healthy,
Vibrant Communities
The Ceres Community Project works to restore locally-grown, organic whole food to its place as the foundation of health for people, communities and the planet.
Our integrated approach brings teens into the kitchen to learn about growing, preparing and eating healthy foods through serving as the program’s chefs. Each year, they prepare thousands of beautiful, delicious and organic meals for individuals and families facing cancer and other life threatening illnesses. The families receive vital nourishment along with the loving support of the community.
This rich stew of learning and healing gets an added dose of goodness through a wide range of programs that educate both clients and the larger community about the healing power of whole foods.
The nourishment of real food and the healing power of community. That’s the magic of the Ceres Community Project and its helping to make both people and places more vibrant.

I am feeling very full of wonderful nutritional information and a whole new perspective on the spiritual side of healing.
~ Susan 4/2010
This workshop brings the experience of people in our communities who have walked the journey from critical illness through healing. After sharing their personal stories, we will have time to reflect on our own healing journeys in small groups.

Ceres’ Teen Leader Sofia Armstrong was recently awarded the Presidential Volunteer Service Award for her work with Ceres Community Project and the Forestville Teen Clinic. Sofia has been cooking regularly in the Ceres Project kitchen since early 2009. She received the award during the National Teen Leadership weekend at UC Davis. Congratulations Sofia!
from New Moon magazine...
After a few hours of intense work, when my eyes are watery from chopping onions, my hands are cold from washing greens, and my apron is stained with food, I can leave the kitchen knowing that I made a difference in someone’s life—someone I will almost certainly never meet,
writes Teen Chef Rita O-Young.
Her piece about working in the Ceres Community Project kitchen is featured in the July/August issue of New Moon, a national magazine for preteen girls. Thanks Rita for the difference you make at Ceres and for sharing your experience with people all over the country!
