Charities & Social Causes

I’ll start off with this: Black Lives Matter – and if this offends you, kindly educate yourself. My stance has not and will not change. ✌️

Over the years, I have been involved with – and am STILL learning about – food insecurity & food justice and how it intersects with systemic racism. I am also vested in food businesses that have been providing sustenance for frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic; as a healthcare worker, their dedication to provide food at their own risk is a selfless & loving act.
