Every week, boxes of our compostable plates and cups make their way to community kitchens, school fundraisers, and volunteer events across the country. We've watched our products become part of countless stories, from a food truck serving families in need in Florida to a festival celebrating immigrants’ contribution to our culture in California.

Shared Plate Partners grew from these stories. We’re launching it as a pilot program that provides larger year-round product support to three of our current partners. Through this we hope to nourish stronger relationships, shine a light on the important work our partners are doing, and grow their incredible impact.

This year we spotlighted three Culinary Changemakers, asking: What if food was more than just a meal? Their stories show that every plate can carry equity, culture, and resilience. Through our Shared Plate Partners, we lift up the chefs, vendors, and community leaders using food as a tool for change, proving these aren’t just meals, they’re movements.
