Originally created and used by women's groups for charitable purposes, these cookbooks contain valuable information on cooking techniques, kitchen tools, and household advice. They also serve as unofficial historical records, providing insight into the norms and values of the time period.
The first of these charity cookbooks in America, A Poetical Cookbook by Maria J. Moss, was published in 1864 to raise funds for injured Union soldiers during the Civil War.
Today, community cookbooks continue to be successful fundraisers for Junior Leagues, church groups, school organizations, hospital auxiliaries and other charitable groups across the country.
