What We Do

Programs Overview

We continuously develop programs and initiatives to assist businesses at every level.

Culinary Community Resources

Feed the Soul Foundation culinary programs prioritize the way resources are allocated by focusing on holistic approaches for marginalized communities. We provide upfront assistance with full access to community partnerships and an equitable pathway to business training programs. We’re able to cultivate a sense of independence, economic growth, and thriving businesses in marginalized communities. Learn more about our Programs below.

Restaurant Business Development Program

We established a fund valued at $15,000, used for any culinary development support for businesses. These businesses understand and are committed to the economic growth in their communities. We selected 25 historical entrepreneurs in the food industry. We’re devoted to dismantling the long history of food injustice in providing resources, training services, and bridging communities together.

Emergency Fund

The Emergency Relief Assistance fund assists applicants that need access to resources to support their businesses. The goal is to ensure that each restaurant can thrive in a recession or disaster nationwide. The intention is to ensure that each restaurant business we work with has much-needed assistance towards their business development goals.
