The Chattanooga Community Kitchen serves people experiencing homelessness - meeting the most basic needs of hungry, homeless and vulnerable people, while also offering a clear path to self-sufficiency.

The new CEO at the Community Kitchen is Olivier LeMaitre.

He brings to the role more than three decades of management and leadership experience from the private and nonprofit sectors - including many years as CEO of the Tim Kelly group of companies here in Chattanooga, and now as Vice President at Sandler Training.
