Karen Talarico, Esq.
Executive Director (Retired)
Cathedral Kitchen

Karen joined Cathedral Kitchen as its first executive director in 2003 and retired 16 years later, after leading the Camden-based organization to become of one of the city’s most respected and steadfast nonprofits. The Kitchen serves over 100,000 meals to the impoverished and homeless in Camden over the course of one year. It enrolls nearly 60 students in its culinary arts and baking arts programs, which lead to 80 percent of those students finding jobs. It cooks 1,600 meals a day for shelters and halfway houses across the city. It provides on-site dental care and other services to its guests and students. And it operates two lunch cafes, a catering service and a “souper van” that help fund its mission to use food to change lives. Karen first began working in the nonprofit field as a business administrator for St. Andrew the Apostle Church in Gibbsboro. In 2002, Karen left her job working as the executive director of the Friends of the Free Library of Philadelphia to travel to Pittsburgh to care for her ill mother. After her mother’s death, she decided she would only work again if the job directly helped people. She had known about the Cathedral Kitchen from making casseroles for the kitchen back when she first moved to South Jersey, and when she saw the executive director job advertised, she decided to apply. The Kitchen did not have an actual kitchen at the time she started. It was serving meals in the gymnasium of an old school next to the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. The nonprofit had just bought a building at 11th and Newton streets that they had planned to make its new home. They hired Karen to raise the $1 million needed to completely renovate the space. The city would not allow them to build on that lot, and they were forced to find another spot in the city for its new home. In 2004, with the help of the city, the site of the old Antrim Hardware Store at 1514 Federal Street was suggested. The building site required extensive environmental clean-up and site work to clean-up the remnants of buried oil tanks and make sure the ground could support the building. It also had to be raised several feet due to it being in the 100-year floodplain. Finally, on a November Friday in 2008, it served its last meal along Market Street, and the following Monday served its first meal at 1514 Federal Street. A major part of Cathedral Kitchen’s work is its culinary and baking training programs, something that Karen saw in 2009 as a way to further extend Cathedral Kitchen’s mission of helping change people’s lives with food. When they opened up the CK Cafe next door in 2015, a lunch spot that helps fund the nonprofit, it also started a bakery training program with more space. Now, in addition to serving meals and training students, it operates a catering business, contract meal services, and two restaurants: the CK Café on Federal Street and LunchBox, located in Roosevelt Park Plaza in downtown Camden.
