The word “restaurant” has the same root as restore because feeding reinvigorates the body, the soul, and the community.

Our restaurant partners provide contact-free and culturally appropriate grocery delivery directly to the doorsteps of working class and immigrant families.

We’re leveraging the empty spaces of restaurants to fulfill and support the mission of food banks, pantries, and community fridges in the greater Boston area.

Our model generates revenue for both food vendors and restaurants whose sales are down as much as 80% since the onset of the pandemic. Through individual donations and grant funding, we leverage the commercial supply chain to purchase groceries for well below retail pricing. We then provide these goods free of charge to essential works and those they provide for (the elderly, immunocompromised, undocumented, and young children).
