Food Empowerment Project seeks to create a more just and sustainable world by recognizing the power of one’s food choices. We encourage healthy food choices that reflect a more compassionate society by spotlighting the abuse of animals on farms, the depletion of natural resources, unfair working conditions for produce workers, and the unavailability of healthy foods in low-income areas. By making informed choices, we can prevent injustices against animals, people, and the environment. We also work to discourage negligent corporations from pushing unhealthy foods into low-income areas and empower people to make healthier choices by growing their own fruits and vegetables. In all of our work, Food Empowerment Project seeks specifically to empower those with the fewest resources.

The Highland Support Project (HSP) is a direct aid model to reduce the separation between donors and community-based change agents to assist Indigenous communities to be able to stay on their land, in the community, and with their culture. HSP supports the development of social capital and increasing the acumen of leadership to identify and take advantage of opportunities. HSP takes a different approach to development. One based on hope, not dependency, opportunity, not charity. HSP develops programs to break cycles of dependency and foster local agency to address structural issues that impede access to opportunity.

DC Food Project aims to reduce food waste in D.C. schools while improving access to healthy food for students while at school and throughout the weekend. The organization fills the gaps between schools' free and reduced breakfast lunch programs by making healthy food more accessible to D.C. students during the day and when the school weekends. Between the various programs around the country and local DC organizations, great work is already being done -- but they felt that in order to have a greater impact on DC students specifically, they needed to reach them in their setting -- schools.
