Friends, Home Cooks need your help. I need your help by signing this petition. Please re-tweet and help take action in Alameda County by supporting Home Cooks who are just trying to cook to survive during these hard times. #alamedacounty #homecook

Alameda County continues to shut down home cooks who are just trying to cook to survive during COVID-19. Why doesn't Alameda County give a response to why they have not adopted AB-626 the cook from home bill. @madwells22 @wheremattisat @_charleyw #alamedacounty #cookalliance

"Please don’t call the cops on pop-ups" - thanks @hooleil for the thoughtful coverage.

We’ve seen a surge in both the celebration of home cooking businesses across the state, as well as shutdowns this year.
