We promote community health, well-being, and responsible consumption while addressing nutrition insecurity.
We are proud to be a part of Discerning Eye Community Agriculture (DECA), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. DECA is dedicated to creating wellness and abundance in underserved communities while fostering agency and inclusion in the fresh food industry. Learn more here.
Sharing food is our love language. Community happens at the dinner table. We host "meal shares" by setting up a stand in outdoor community gathering spaces. We share freshly cooked, nutrient-dense, plant-based meals along with useful items like socks and wipes. Check out our Upcoming Events to see where we will be next.
We want to use what we've got. We happily create delicious and nourishing dishes with rescued and donated produce and canned or dried vegetables and legumes. We make sure any food that comes our way gets used in our meals, broths or compost. That's our promise. We are partnered with Blessings of Hope to source the majority of our rescued food. Learn more about Blessings of Hope here .
We depend on volunteers to help cook and share our meals. We run on donations to be able to provide our meals. We don't see a difference between the people sharing meals and receiving meals. Would you like to join us? Or make a donation?

VolunteerWe prep and cook the day before and put it all together in the hours leading up to the community meal the next day.
We need help setting up and serving community members at our shares. This includes setting up tables, arranging food on plates and bringing them to folks with a smile and an open heart and mind.
Dishes need washing, counters need wiping, and floors need sweeping and mopping.
