Built in Partnership
The Flourish™ Program is powered by the collective impact of two key partners:
The Dream Collective, Inc. – our nonprofit hub for food access, youth empowerment, and education
Vegan Bites by Jas – One of our plant-based food partner providing hands-on culinary experiences, high-quality vegan meals, and professional mentorship in healthy food entrepreneurship
Together, we blend farming, food, and future-focused training to raise up confident, creative changemakers one meal, one skill, and one child at a time.


Nourishing Children, Nourishing Communities
We’re not just teaching students to cook we’re feeding our communities. Through our after-school and summer programs, we provide fresh, balanced meals to children who need them most. Because hunger steals more than food—it steals focus, energy, and joy. We’re here to give that back.
After-School Meals
Many students go home to no dinner on the table. That’s why we step in. We serve nourishing after-school meals and snacks that give kids the energy to learn, grow, and just be kids.
Delivered in partnership with local schools, churches, and community centers
Summer Food Program
When school cafeterias close, hunger increases. Our Summer Pop-Up Meal Sites and Farm Box Pickups help ensure kids are still nourished.
Real food. Fresh produce. No fillers. Just what growing bodies need.
