About Us
Mission:
Bronx Eats empowers communities through nutritious food access and plant-based cooking education
Healthy Food Access:
In 2025, Bronx Eats—DOE approved—is turning to schools as distribution hubs for no-charge fresh produce distributions.
Our goal is to make healthy, high-quality ingredients more accessible to all.
Cooking Education:
We offer nutrient-dense cooking demonstrations throughout the Bronx, featuring affordable recipes inspired by diverse cultural traditions. Our chefs emphasize fresh, seasonal, and local ingredients—making nutritious eating both accessible and delicious.

Core Values
Empowerment
We aim to build confidence in managing your diet, health, and food choices.
Health
We increase access to fresh fruits and vegetables—at no charge—and make nutritious eating attainable, achievable, and fun.
Community
We strive to make cooking and mealtime shared social moments that become a meaningful part of everyone’s daily life.
Independence
We support participants in embracing fresh, wholesome foods instead of relying on processed, less nutritious choices.
Acting Locally
We love our communities and are committed to nourishing them. While there are countless global issues to tackle, we must also tend our own garden. Bronx Eats showcases the rich culinary knowledge and traditions of our borough—what we proudly call Bronx Power!
“The shared meal elevates eating from a mechanical process of fueling the body to a ritual act of family and community, from mere animal biology to an act of culture”
