Love Offering will take a hiatus at the end of June
We first want to thank the generous donors who supported Love Offering over the last few weeks. We were able to continue the program until the end of June. This program will be taking a hiatus after June until additional grants and/or donations are secured.
Love Offering is a community meal program that provides free-of-cost African diasporic and Native American-inspired cuisine, prepared by Black/Indigenous chefs, two days a week.
Wa Na Wari provides community meals Tuesdays and Thursdays. 4pm-6pm.
We also invite you over for Cake and Coffee on Wednesdays, 4pm-6pm.
Love Offering promotes economic stability for BIPOC chefs, increases access to nourishing meals, and cultivates community and a sense of belonging around cultural dishes.
Love Offering support comes from City of Seattle Dept of Neighborhoods
Sponsored by City of Seattle Office of Arts & Culture
We work with local farmers and organizations to source fresh meats, vegetables, and other healthy ingredients that chefs can incorporate into the meals. It is important to us that meals are well-balanced, nutritious, and culturally relevant to the majority BIPOC communities we serve. Vegetarian options are available with every meal.
Examples of meals served recently include: Berbere Spiced Chicken with Coconut Rice and Lentils; Pulled Bison with Wild Rice, Sweet Potato, and Veggie Succotash; Jamaican Chicken and Veggie Patties with Plantains.
