PRESS RELEASE

First-of-its-Kind Recipe Platform CookingHub, Dedicated to Fighting Hunger, Launches on September 17, 2024

CookingHub, a community recipe platform that fights hunger, launches after four years of preparation today, September 17, 2024, at 2:00 PM CST. Owned and operated by Checked Solutions, LLC, it aims to build a community around a love of food with a common goal to fight hunger.

Our mission is to fight hunger. CookingHub is the community recipe platform where everyone, from home cooks to professional chefs, is welcome to publish and share recipes, save other people’s recipes for later, follow other chefs, write reviews, and more. We believe that food is a universal language, and by fostering a sense of community around it, we can connect people from all walks of life. Visit CookingHub: www.cookinghub.com

Beyond just sharing recipes, CookingHub is a powerful tool in the fight against hunger. We engage the community in the fight against hunger by spreading awareness about hunger issues, educating the community. Our current partner is No Kid Hungry.

The goal of our platform is to always be free for all users, regardless of their income. Our platform is designed to generate operational revenue from advertising, sales commissions from affiliate programs, and other similar channels.

In 2020, Tom Slepicka (founder of CookingHub and the CookingHub Foundation) saw the potential to create a community recipe platform where everyone could enjoy and share recipes: CookingHub. While CookingHub was being developed, the idea to establish a hunger-fighting charity arose, and the CookingHub Foundation was established. Tom’s family’s past struggles with hunger drive his commitment to charitable goals. Read more here: https://www.cookinghub.com/about/how-it-all-started-from-cooking-with-family-to-cookinghub/

CookingHub and CookingHub Foundation were established and are operated from Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Tax-exempt status was granted to the CookingHub Foundation by the IRS, effective May 24, 2023, under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3). The CookingHub Foundation was further determined to be a public charity under IRC 509(a)(2).
