THIS SPIRIT OF GENEROSITY IS CORE TO OUR VALUES AS A COMPANY, ROOTED IN OUR PARENT NONPROFIT'S MISSION TO BUILD A CULTURE OF GENEROSITY THROUGH SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY FEASTS.FOR EXAMPLE, WITH OUR HALF MEAL BOX OPTION, JUST OVER 50% OF OUR CUSTOMERS CHOSE APAY-IT-FORWARD OPTION [RANGING FROM $5-$10 MORE A BOX] TO OFFSET THE COST OF PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN OPTIONS. WITH OUR WHOLE MEAL BOX, OUR MOST POPULAR OPTION, 35% OF CUSTOMERS CHOSE A PAY-IT-FORWARD OPTION [RANGING FROM $5-$20 MORE / BOX] TO OFFSET THE COST OF THE PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN OPTIONS.FREE PREPARED MEALSOUR CONTINUED WORK WITH KITCHEN COALITION [FORMERLY NAMED MINNESOTA CENTRAL KITCHEN] AND SECOND HARVEST HEARTLAND RECOGNIZES THAT HUNGER ISN'T JUST ABOUT ACCESS TO FOOD. IN 2024, KITCHEN COALITION REACHED THE MILESTONE OF 6 MILLION MEALS SERVED.IN 2024, EAT FOR EQUITY CATERING PROVIDED 32,158 OF THOSE FREE PREPARED MEALS. EAT FOR EQUITY CATERING HAS BEEN A KITCHEN COALITION PARTNER SINCE 2020. WE PREPARE 600-800 MEALS A WEEK THAT ARE DISTRIBUTED TO OUR NEIGHBORS EXPERIENCING FOOD INSECURITY. WE'RE PART OF A NETWORK OF LOCAL RESTAURANTS AND CATERERS WHO TURN FOOD BANK INGREDIENTS INTO NUTRITIOUS, FRESHLY PREPARED MEALS. "I FEEL VERY LUCKY THAT MY VERY SMALL STAFF OF TWO PEOPLE ENJOY THE CREATIVITY OF TURNING THESE INGREDIENTS INTO SOMETHING REALLY EXCITING TO PREPARE AND EXCITING FOR PEOPLE TO EAT. I LIKE MAKING MEALS THAT ARE SEASONAL AND USE FLAVORS THAT ARE AVAILABLE. THAT'S WHERE I START WHEN I CREATE MENUS." - MARISOL HERLING, EAT FOR EQUITY CATERING CHEFIN 2024, EAT FOR EQUITY CATERING BEGAN A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SANNEH FOUNDATION TO MAKE FREE PREPARED MEALS FOR THEIR COMMUNITY. SANNEH FOUNDATION HAS COMMUNITY FOOD DISTRIBUTION SITES THROUGHOUT THE TWIN CITIES.WE PURCHASE 100% OF THE INGREDIENTS FOR THE MEALS, AND DURING THE GROWING SEASON, HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PURCHASE LOCALLY GROWN PRODUCE. MEALS ARE DISTRIBUTED THROUGH SANNEH FOUNDATION'S COMMUNITY FOOD DISTRIBUTIONS THROUGHOUT THE TWIN CITIES. THEIR DISTRIBUTIONS ARE OPEN TO ANYONE IN NEED OF FOOD, NO DOCUMENTATION NEEDED, AND REGARDLESS OF WHERE A PERSON LIVES. MANY OF THE MEALS ARE SENT TO OPEN CUPBOARD FOOD PANTRY IN OAKDALE, WITH A FOCUS ON FRESH FOOD, PRODUCE, MEAT, DAIRY, AND BAKERY ITEMS.OUR MEALS FOR THE SANNEH FOUNDATION MEALS ARE DESIGNED FOR ECUADORIAN AND LATINOCOMMUNITIES. SOME COMMON MENU ITEMS INCLUDE LOCRO DE PAPA (STEWED POTATOES AND CHEESE WITH CHICKEN AND RICE), CASAMIENTO RED BEANS AND BEEF WITH PEPPERS AND RICE, AND PORK AND VEGETABLE RAGU WITH GRITS.KITCHEN COMMISSARYIN 2023, EAT FOR EQUITY CATERING MOVED INTO A COMMERCIAL KITCHEN IN THE UPTOWN AREA OF MINNEAPOLIS AND MADE THAT KITCHEN A SHARED COMMISSARY KITCHEN FOR OTHER FOOD BUSINESSES AND CHEFS.EAT FOR EQUITY AND EAT FOR EQUITY CATERING HAVE ALWAYS SHARED KITCHEN SPACES WITH OTHERS, FROM THROWING FUNDRAISING PARTIES IN HOME KITCHENS TO OUR FIRST COMMERCIAL KITCHEN SPACE AT CITY FOOD STUDIO ALMOST 10 YEARS AGO. WE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THE KIND OF SPACE AND CULTURE WE WANTED TO CREATE IN OUR KITCHEN. WE WANTED TO DESIGN A SHARED KITCHEN MODEL THAT WAS EQUITABLE AND COULD SUPPORT BUSINESSES AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF GROWTH.OUR GOAL WAS TO CREATE A PRODUCTIVE, SAFE, AND WELCOMING KITCHEN FOR OUR BUSINESS AND OTHERS. WE WANTED TO SHARE AFFORDABLE COMMERCIAL KITCHEN SPACE TO SUPPORT THE GROWTH OF WOMEN AND BIPOC CHEFS AND SMALL FOOD BUSINESSES. IN 2024, OF THE THIRTEEN FOOD BUSINESSES THAT WORKED IN THE KITCHEN AT SOME POINT IN THE YEAR, 85% ARE BIPOC OR WOMEN-OWNED /RUN BUSINESSES.BY MAKING AFFORDABLE COMMERCIAL KITCHEN SPACE AVAILABLE FOR LOCAL SMALL BUSINESSES, WE ARE PROVIDING THE SPACE FOR THEM TO MAKE GREAT, SUSTAINABLE FOOD. WE'VE DESIGNED OUR MODEL SO THAT REGULAR KITCHEN USERS HAVE 24/7 ACCESS AND UNLIMITED TIME (INSTEAD OF BEING BILLED BY THE HOUR OR THE DAY). DIFFERENCES IN RATES ARE AROUND LEVEL OF PRIORITY ACCESS, STORAGE NEEDS, AND OPTIONS FOR USING OPEN SPACE, DEDICATED SPACE, OR EXCLUSIVE SPACE. KITCHEN USERS CAN BUILD THEIR BUSINESS BY RENTING PRIVATE OFFICE SUITES,SHARING OFFICE SPACE, OR USING THE LOBBY FOR PICKUP/DELIVERY OR MEETING SPACE.WE OFFER EXCLUSIVE SPACE, DEDICATED SPACE, AND OPEN SPACE TO FIT THE NEEDS OF BUSINESSES AT DIFFERENT STAGES. MANY COMMISSARY KITCHENS DO NOT ALLOW BUSINESSES TO LEAVE ANY EQUIPMENT OR FOOD IN COMMON SPACES, AND STORAGE SPACE MAY BE FAR AWAY OR ON ANOTHER LEVEL FROM PRODUCTION SPACE.WE WANT TO MAKE OUR KITCHEN ACCESSIBLE, WHILE ALSO UNDERSTANDING ITS VALUE AND THE COST OF RUNNING A PROFESSIONAL, FUNCTIONAL COMMERCIAL KITCHEN. WE BUILT INTO OUR MODEL SIGNIFICANT DISCOUNTS TO KITCHEN USERS FOR CLEANING CHORES, SIGNING AN ANNUAL AGREEMENT, WORKING IN OFF-HOURS TIME, AND FOR EMERGING NEW BUSINESSES. WE GAVE OUT $29,775 IN DISCOUNTS TO KITCHEN USERS IN 2024, AN INCREASE OF 38% FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR, 21,473.CATERINGEAT FOR EQUITY CATERING IS NOT CURRENTLY OFFERING OFF-SITE CATERING SERVICE. WE CONTINUE TO OFFER PICK-UP OR DELIVERY CATERING ON A LIMITED BASIS, AS WE HAVE SHIFTED MUCH OF OUR FOCUS TOWARD MEAL BOXES AND COMMUNITY FOOD RELIEF. | $0 | $74,982 |
