February's featured profile: Err'body Eats

Err’body Eats empowers food insecure communities to live more sustainable lives by supplying health-conscious meals, living essentials, employment, and education opportunities. The hope is to develop a food centered hub with a commercial community kitchen. A community kitchen will allow the team to have a space to consistently prepare meals for the food insecure population and arm individuals with a health oriented culinary education. The goal is to simultaneously fill the stomachs and feed the spirits of the community. In August 2020, Err’body Eats Feeds the Homies became a nonprofit. Since then the team has been able to distribute over 3600 meals with PPE kits, replace stolen tents or backpacks and spend time with their homies to ensure that everyone is fed and feels seen.
