Our Mission
Our Mission
Our mission is to increase food access, strengthen communities, and build equity through food entrepreneurship education, capacity building, and access to capital.
What We Do
We Empower Food Entrepreneurs
Our focus is on supporting aspiring, underserved food entrepreneurs to realize their food business dreams.
We believe in the transformative power of food – to create economic opportunities and foster vibrant communities.
We Educate and Mentor
For a food business to be successful, access to commercial equipment and great recipes are not enough.
Food entrepreneurs also need business education, technical assistance, support and community connections.
We Fight Food Insecurity
We believe food is a fundamental human right and offer prepared meals through our community partners to help address this immediate crisis in our community.
