Your support makes progress possible
Packaging with a Purpose
This year, we’re raising $10,000 to support the sustainable packaging of the to-go meals our Upcycling Kitchens provide.
Each meal is packaged in compostable containers with detailed labels listing allergens and meal information to ensure every meal is safe and accessible.
At just 25 cents per meal, this packaging plays an important role in delivering nourishment to people in our community while reducing food waste.
