Our Work
Rescuing Food, Restoring People, Rethinking Hospitality
Advocacy & Civic engagement
We advocate for sustainable food and enhanced liveability. Through awareness campaigns, education, experiential learning and volunteerism we connect and aid people in their capacity to care for the planet and humanity.
Refettorio development
We develop Refettorio projects around the world as cultural spaces for social inclusion and empowerment. Through nonprofit partnerships, each Refettorio adapts our model to transform surplus food into shared meals, welcoming vulnerable communities with dignity, beauty and hospitality.
Collective Action & Global Impact
We support our global network through capacity building, shared learning and collaboration. By exchanging knowledge and practices, we strengthen the impact of local projects and contribute to scalable solutions that benefit both people and the planet.
