Our Mission
Radically Inclusive: Including everyone, especially accepting and accommodating people who have historically been excluded (due to their race, gender, sexuality, or ability). We honor different identities, ideas, and experiences and invite everyone, especially those who have historically been excluded, into the pursuit of our mission.
Intentionally Collaborative: We cannot meet our mission without you. We invite you into our work. We value the power of collective thinking and impact, even when it is challenging.
Courageously Disruptive: In all that we do we will stretch ourselves and those we work alongside to challenge the Prison Industrial Complex.
Rooted in Justice: We work vigorously for freedom and justice for formerly incarcerated Black, Indigenous, Latinx, People of Color, and, by extension, all incarcerated people.
Committed to Growth: We will steward all our resources with integrity, love, and respect for the earth. This, in turn, fuels our belief that all living things when nurtured in good soil, given sun, and water will flourish.

On July 1, we launched our fundraising campaign to help us prepare and plan for next season. Our goals are to double the formerly incarcerated men and women into our paid internship program, triple our no cost food distribution, purchase or lease land long term, and build organizational sustainability.
The donations you make towards our $125,000 fundraising campaign will not only help us be financially resilient, but they will also help us expand and enhance the experience of our paid internship program, the program that your giving made possible this year.
Our interns not only benefit from their work with our community but in turn help us continue to feed our neighbors and partner with our restaurant and retail clients as they are doing their pivot toward re-opening the post-COVID crisis. We are creating a local food ecosystem of resilience, responsiveness, business, and love that you are a much-needed part of.
