Women’s History Month: The Inspiring Women of Culinary Care You Need to Know

March is Women’s History Month, which means it’s the perfect time to celebrate the amazing women who make the world a better place—including the incredible community here at Culinary Care! From our inspiring founder, Courtney Johnson, to the patients we serve, to the dedicated volunteers, donors, and corporate partners who help make our mission possible, this organization is filled with strong, compassionate women making a real impact every day.

It All Started with a Daughter’s Love

Culinary Care exists because of Courtney Johnson’s love for her dad and her deep belief that no one should have to fight cancer alone—or on an empty stomach.

Back in 2006, when Courtney was in high school, her dad was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. It was a devastating time for her family, but one thing that made a big difference? The meals that friends and family brought over. Those meals weren’t just food—they were moments of love, normalcy, and relief during an incredibly difficult time.

When her dad passed away just seven months later, Courtney knew she wanted to make sure other families had that same kind of support. Seven years later, Courtney started Culinary Care.

Today, thanks to Courtney’s vision, we’ve delivered over 50,000+ meals to patients and their families, taking one more thing off their plate so they can focus on what really matters—healing, connecting, and simply being together.

We are endlessly grateful for the incredible women who make a difference in our community.
