YCK Band of Warriors!

We were honored to share the story of The Yellow Cottage Kitchen — a place where adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities gain confidence, develop job skills, and discover meaningful purpose through the culinary arts. At its heart, Yellow Cottage Kitchen is about dignity, opportunity, and belonging.

Our young adults are warriors in ways many never see — meeting each day with courage, perseverance, and remarkable joy. Their strength may not always make headlines, but it changes lives — including ours.

By sharing their stories, we hope you have felt the depth of their resilience and the power of their spirit. Now, we invite you to stand beside them as a founding member of the Band of Warriors.

An annual commitment of $1,000 sustains this life-changing work — ensuring opportunity, dignity, and purpose remain within reach. Leadership investments of $5,000, and Small Business and Corporate commitments of $10,000 or more, expand that impact, strengthening programs today and securing their future.

Together, we are not just supporting young adults — we are championing their courage and investing in what they are capable of becoming.

With heartfelt gratitude for your compassion and partnership.
