Organization: A Better Life Foundation USA Inc
Mission: A BETTER LIFE FOUNDATION USA INC. executed two programs in 2019. Program titles were: Dinner x ABLF and Cook with US. All were underwritten by for-profit sponsors; ABLF?s core sponsor was Knorr USA. Over the year A BETTER LIFE FOUNDATION USA INC., with its for and not for profit partners, fed 1,500+ community members, taught 80+ people cooking skills and invited 900+ to make their communities well. Eighty-four volunteers, 29 chefs and 19 musicians shared their gifts. The organization built a community and is positioned to replicate and evolve its programming nationwide in 2020.
Activities: Dinner x ABLF - Formerly Greasy Spoon Supper Series, now Dinner x ABLF. At Dinner x ABLF community convenes in a safe space of radical hospitality to inspire everyday advocacy. Attendees from for-profit and not-profits sit and share a family style meal inspired by local ingredients. A BETTER LIFE FOUNDATION USA INC. allows for all to see themselves in contributing to the well-being of their community via soft advocacy. At the end of all dinners attendees receive a call to action.
Cook with US. A BETTER LIFE FOUNDATION USA INC. hosts women and children from vulnerable communities to learn how to source, prep and cook nutritious meals. A BETTER LIFE FOUNDATION USA INC. provides all the materials required to execute the meal. No financial contribution is required from the participants. At the end participants gather, present and enjoy a family style meal.
