Second Chance Foods elevates the health of people and the planet by recovering nutrient dense food from local sources, and providing it to organizations that address hunger, in order to break the cycle of wasted food and food insecurity.
In the spirit of hospitality and radical love, Loaves & Fishes is an oasis for guests seeking respite and a space of belonging. We serve over 11,000 adults and children annually through our 16 programs addressing such needs as a fresh daily cooked meal, showers/laundry, mental health, a school for homeless children, advocacy and day shelter for unhoused individuals and families.
Mandela Partners uses food to empower communities of color and communities of limited means to build health, wealth, well-being, and economic opportunities in their own neighborhoods. Founded in West Oakland, CA in 2004, our work responds directly to the longstanding inequities our communities face – an extractive food system that withholds access to fresh foods, a racist legacy of redlining and economic disinvestment, and exclusion from long-term wealth-building opportunities.
