We further our mission to inspire confidence, creativity, and community in the kitchen through our charitable initiatives, outreach programs, and sustainability practices. Serving the community and safeguarding the environment is not a “box to check” but rather an integral part of our DNA. We help when, how, and where we can. Not because we think anyone’s watching, but because it's just who we are.
About Us
ATK Cares
We’re on a Mission to Make a Difference
And we're cooking our way to a better world.
Community Outreach & Partnerships
We’re committed to using our culinary expertise (and test kitchen) for good—spearheading causes that bring people together and inspiring the next generation of chefs, home cooks, and food experts.
| ATK Charity Days | Holiday Pie Drive |
|---|---|
Employees get workdays off throughout the year to spend the time volunteering. |
In November we prep, roll, crimp, mix, and bake dozens of pies to benefit Community Servings. |
| Holiday Gift Drive | Fudge/Baking Drive |
|---|---|
Every December we provide holiday gifts and meals to a family through a partnership with Home for Little Wanderers. |
In February we prepare fudge and baked goods to benefit No Kid Hungry. |
We partner with organizations that primarily focus on local farming, reducing hunger, and cooking education to strengthen our communities and rally against some of society's greatest challenges.
Sustainability
A foolproof recipe means nothing if it's achieved at the expense of our environment. We are dedicated to reducing waste and minimizing our carbon footprint through conscious efforts to operate sustainably.
| Food Composting | ATK Employee Take-Home Fridge |
|---|---|
We've been composting since February 2019. |
Leftover food gets put in this community refrigerator and scooped up by hungry employees. |
| Food Management System | Review Eco-Friendly Products |
|---|---|
This system ensures food gets tracked and recirculated, when possible. |
So you know which products are worth your money (and we know which ones to stock in the Test Kitchen). |
| Use of Reusable Food & Beverage Containers | Buy Local and In Bulk |
|---|---|
All of the containers we use to prep and package are reusable or compostable. |
This helps minimize the packaging and reduces fossil fuels. |
