Benjamin B. Russell

Feeding Oakland for eight years

  • 🇺🇸 Oakland, California, United States
  • Oakland Canteen
  • 2009 to 2017
  • English, Spanish
I've cooked from 2009 to 2017, first at home, then at Oakland Canteen and later in my own kitchen. Food is how I say thank you. On Sundays I cook for anyone who turns up. I try to remember everyone's name.
What gifts mean to Benjamin: Any gift helps me keep the Sunday table free for people in need.
