How we work

CONNECT - first, our City Leads research, learn, listen, and talk to restaurants and community organizations that might be a good fit for OTP.

MATCH - then, we make partnerships that make sense! We match restaurant partners that can provide nutritious, culturally tailored meals with communities facing food insecurity.

GO! - partnerships go live! Meals are delivered weekly, for 6–9 months, and enjoyed fresh & hot on the spot. We pay the restaurants for the meals so they are free to community members.
