Our Mission

From Sacred Convent
to Community Kitchen

The Unconventional Kitchen, housed in the repurposed St. Louise Convent in McCandless near Pittsburgh, operates on a simple yet profound principle— 100% of proceeds support Vincentian's nonprofit mission. Every meal, catering order, and bakery item—every dollar earned—is reinvested into Vincentian Collaborative System's human services programs.

Our Commitment

Our Approach

We bake the connection between food and purpose into every experience. With locally sourced ingredients and a thoughtful culinary approach, The Unconventional Kitchen delivers menus and meals that are both flavorful and rooted in community impact.

Let's Create Something

Extraordinary

Repurposing a convent to prepare delicious, locally-sourced meals was just the beginning of the Unconventional Kitchen story. Serving those meals to all ages, putting every dollar back into a nonprofit mission, and continuing the cycle of reinvestment to the community...that's the heart of the Unconventional Kitchen.
