Some people count miles. We count the people we meet along the way.
The miles on the car don’t matter when you’re doing work that matters.
This summer, our Philly crew hit the road to New York City - from Midtown to Flatbush and the Caribbean Market - not just to visit places, but to build relationships with people who care.
That’s what this next chapter is all about.
We’re expanding the circle with chefs, historians, storytellers, creatives, and community leaders - including new collaborations with the James Hemings Society - as we build bridges between Food is Therapy and Food is History.
We believe healing happens around the table. History is preserved through the recipes we share. And lasting change starts when neighbors care enough to create something together.
If we’re going to strengthen our communities, we need more than good ideas. We need people who care.
If our mission speaks to you, we’d love to meet you. Tell us about a chef, a community leader, a venue, a neighborhood organization, or a creative who should be part of this movement. We’d love to collaborate!
Later this month, we’ll be announcing our first Food is Therapy community event series and activations. We can’t wait to share what’s been growing behind the scenes.
Here’s to putting miles on the car for something bigger than ourselves - and to caring through food, one story, one table, and one community at a time. ❤️
