I was raised by an organic gardener and a scratch cook, so I learned early on that nothing is more supportive than a home-cooked meal. When SNAP benefits were reduced, I saw firsthand how many of my neighbors were struggling to put food on the table. I knew I had the skills and the heart to help, so I started cooking nourishing meals for those impacted by these changes.

As time went on, the need in our community grew even more urgent. Increased ICE activity in our neighborhoods has made it difficult and frightening for many, especially non-SNAP qualified neighbors, to even leave their homes for groceries. I realized that there was no one better equipped to feed people in this moment, and I am committed to making sure no one goes hungry or feels alone.

I make regular and vegan quiche, often in gluten free crusts, as well as vegan and meat-based soups. As a diabetic, I also make sure to provide sugar-free desserts, candies, and pies so everyone can enjoy a treat. With your support, I will use these funds to continue buying food supplies and distribution containers, so I can keep preparing and delivering meals to those who need them most. We all have a role to play as we build a new world based on love and support for each other. Your help will make a real difference in the lives of our neighbors, and together, we can create a stronger, more caring community.
