Plant Based Food Share - 2021 Kickoff!
Donation protected
Help Plant Based Food Share feed people facing food insecurity in the greater Seattle Area. We’re raising money to cover some our operating expenses for the beginning of 2021 and we would appreciate your assistance!
Your donation will help us purchase, pack, and distribute healthy food boxes and prepared meals to people who lack access or funds to purchase healthy food.
If you're not in a position to donate you can still help by sharing this post with your friends and networks.
Who we are & What we do:
Plant Based Food Share (PBFS) is a Community Food Program that provides healthy, plant-based food boxes to Seattle area families facing food insecurity. Our focus is on reaching low-income, underserved urban communities who live in food deserts or have other barriers to healthy food access. Food box sign ups are open to all local families facing food insecurity and recipients include African American, Indigenous, Latinx, & BlPOC children families, and elders; people with disabilities, seniors, and domestic violence victims.
PBFS is designed to offer four main things to food box recipients:
1) Produce and pantry essentials for families to prepare meals during the week;
2) Healthy plant-based meals cooked by local chefs, with emphasis on supporting chefs of color;
3) Education and tools to empower receptions to grow food at home with limited space, utilizing kitchens, window sills, balconies, etc.
4) Help families by providing support to maintain self-sufficiency. We do this work as a way to heal and inspire our communities, to strengthen the ties and connects within those communities, and to encourage healthy practices for those that are currently underserved and have historically been denied access to healthy food and general wellness knowledge.
We began with one distribution a week; Mondays at Cafe Red in South Seattle. PBFS has now expanded distributions to Federal Way on Fridays and added a Sunday distribution day in Seattle, to meet growing demand. We are looking to expand further in order to help even more people in need and we would appreciate your help!
