Who we are
History:
During the first months of the Covid-19 pandemic, like many local businesses, Elisabeth Chávez's catering company temporarily closed. Due to this food crisis, the Chávez catering team was redirected to cook and deliver an average of 150 meals per day, six days a week, for those who didn't have access to a kitchen or had disabilities that prevented them from cooking for themselves. Knowing that this population would need this kind of support in the long term, Elisabeth Chávez shared this idea with Denisse González, and with her help, the Platos Con Amor Community Kitchen was founded, becoming the first organization of its kind in Todos Santos.
Mission:
Reduce food insecurity by guaranteeing access to nutritious and healthy food for single mothers, elderly and disabled residents.
Goals:
- Provide nutritious homemade meals Monday to Friday.
- Promote nutritional autonomy through onsite gardening.
- Provide educational experiences to Todos Santos community through volunteering.
