How did you hear about Marmoset?
Marmoset reached out to us through Instagram in Nov 2022 looking for ways to give back to the community. Since then they have volunteered in our kitchen, helping us continue our mission of providing meals to families in need, at no cost to them with no questions asked.
Describe Marmoset in 3 words. Creatives that care!
How has working with Marmoset has impacted your life/business/organization?
The support of their volunteering is overwhelming. Being a micro-sized 501c3 non-profit, volunteers are essential for us to continue to have an impact in our community. Each time they have blessed us with the opportunity to collaborate, not only has it been fun, but it has also helped us continue being a healthy meal provider making a positive impact on the lives of hundreds of community members each week.
That was just the beginning of the impact they helped us have. We are also community funded, having never received government funds. We utilize our flexibility in the kitchen to rescue amazing ingredients from our partners at local farmers markets, business, and restaurants to reduce food waste in our community diverting them to restaurant quality meals for our community members in need. This flexibility allows us to stretch every dollar received to its maximum value, feeding a family of four for less than $6!
Marmoset’s generous donation of $4000 in 2023 helped us feed over 660 families. We look forward to future collaborations with Marmoset, helping us help our community.
