Spreading Kindness Through Plant-Based Meals Program

We believe a warm meal is a powerful vehicle for compassion and kindness.

What began as a small initiative to provide 60 holiday meals for local low-income students has blossomed into a massive community movement, delivering nearly 5,000 nutritious plant-based meals to those in need across the Bay Area.

Our Impact

During the recent Holiday seasons, our dedicated volunteers coordinated a large-scale effort to support:

4,934+

individuals supported. Including low income families, survivors of domestic violence, and at-risk youth.

26+

organizations collaborated, and distributing to more than 46 sites and shelters in the Bay Area.

370+

volunteers, ranging in age from 6-80, contrbuted more than 2 weeks of services in prep and deliver

Strength in Partnership

This program is supported by over 400 global donors and local partners, including New Leaf Community Markets and Heartland Society. We ensure that our care extends far beyond the plate. From supporting frontline medical workers during the pandemic to our current holiday drives. We remain committed to breaking social isolation and providing a "sense of belonging" for our most vulnerable neighbors.

Join us in creating the next ripple of kindness -- one meal at a time.

Support the Teacher Program

We aim to study Dharma to reflect on ourselves, and put into practice through serving others

Participants learn through small-group discussions, guided facilitation, and practical reflection, so that insights don’t remain theoretical. The learning environment emphasizes respectful dialogue, peer support, and consistent weekly practice that helps people bring learning into their families, workplaces, and communities.
