The Wilmington Kitchen Collective is a community- based project dedicated to serving food industry entrepreneurs from marginalized local communities. Riverfront Ministries owns and operates the Wilmington Kitchen Collective in partnership with Wilmington Alliance.

Our mission is to empower holistic transformation by providing affordable, high-quality commercial kitchen facilities in an effort to usher in human flourishing.

The Kitchen Collective will serve as a center of activity for entrepreneurs seeking a career in Wilmington’s culinary arena. The goals of the facility are to provide lower-cost and higher quality kitchen facilities for food entrepreneurs. In addition to providing a creative space for culinary entrepreneurs to grow their business, the facility will also foster the gathering of professionals and pre-professionals who can share contacts and knowledge, creating a more cohesive culinary (entrepreneurial) community.

Part of joining the Wilmington Kitchen Collective involves agreeing to work with the Small Business Development  at the University of Delaware, to develop and make progress toward your business plan.

The following questions are to gauge where you are in the business process, and assess how we can begin working together. We are excited you are interested in the Kitchen Collective.
