Volunteers need some love too!

VINDEKET FOODS

VINDEKET is a non-profit food rescue organization dedicated to reducing food waste. It partners with grocery stores, restaurants, and farms to collect surplus food that would otherwise go to waste. The organization operates a no-cost market that is accessible to anyone, promoting community involvement and food revaluation.

FOCO Cafe

FOCO CAFE is dedicated to providing nutritious meals to the community. It operates on a pay-as-you-can model, allowing individuals to pay what they can afford, with a minimum recommendation of $5. Those unable to pay can work in exchange for food. The cafe emphasizes using local, organic, and sustainably grown ingredients to serve a variety of meals, including soups, salads, and sandwiches

ANIMAL ALLIANCE is a global youth-powered movement that equips the next generation with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities to take meaningful action for animals. Through education and real-world impact, they empower youth to address pet overpopulation, promote responsible animal care, and create stronger, more compassionate communities.
