Smart SoulFood
Smart Soul Food is a culinary education initiative that empowers disadvantaged community members to prepare nutritious, delicious meals using fresh, local ingredients. Over six classes led by our Hell’s Kitchen finalist chef, participants learn cooking techniques and explore cultural cuisines tailored to diverse dietary needs. Each class includes a food box for preparing meals at home, while the program also tracks health outcomes to promote improvements in diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, fostering lasting impacts on well-being and culinary confidence.
From Scratch
Feeding our senior community with healthy, nutritious, chef-prepared meals is crucial for their overall well-being, especially as we approach the holiday season in collaboration with Armstrong Renaissance and Better Housing Coalition, and City of Richmond serving 1300 Thanksgiving meals.
