November 13, 2026- Cleveland Clinic has opened a teaching kitchen and food pantry at the Langston Hughes Community Health & Education Center, a resource designed to expand access to nutrition education, healthy cooking skills and food resources for patients, families and residents of Cleveland’s east side neighborhoods and beyond. The 4,800-square-foot facility features 16 residential-style cooking stations, a central demonstration area and technology that allows programs to be livestreamed, recorded and shared digitally, extending the reach of the programming.
The space also includes a Nourish Food Pantry Plus stocked with fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy products and shelf-stable foods. The pantry is available to individuals who meet food insecurity criteria, regardless of whether they are Cleveland Clinic patients.
