Food insecurity impacts 47 million people – 13.8 million children – across the United States. We’ve been rethinking this problem since 2017, and we’ve found a solution, one hiding in plain sight:

RESTAURANTS.
That’s right. Restaurants.

We are a chef-led nonprofit, partnering with restaurants to better feed communities. What makes our approach unique? We're feeding communities in need, while helping to create jobs and support small businesses that are essential pillars of our economy. 

Building the Network

We connect restaurants, community-based organizations, and food donors to deliver meals where they're needed most.


Setting the Example

Through our Sustainable Community Kitchen, we demonstrate what dignified, community-centered food access can look like.


Advocating for Change

We champion policy and systems change to create a more sustainable, equitable food future for all.
