As we reflect on 2025, we are filled with gratitude for the community that made this year of service possible. Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, we continued to provide free, plant-based meals rooted in dignity, culture, and care.
This year, our Star Ingredient Campaign highlighted the power of simple, accessible foods—black beans, chickpeas, and lentils—showing how plant-based proteins can be both nourishing and delicious. We also deepened our community presence by hosting three back-to-school events in Lakeside, City Heights, and Colina del Sol, helping neighborhood kiddos start the school year supported and prepared. For the fourth consecutive year, we served lunch to parents at the ALL Kids Academy Head Start program, strengthening our commitment to families. Our year culminated in our most meaningful gathering, “Rooted in Respect,” where we honored local seniors with a nourishing lunch and a box of fresh fruits and vegetables.
