In this episode, I sit down with Kayla Ferguson, founder of The Same Plate. The Same Plate connects communities through curated, global food events that are delivered locally. Through group dinners and group or individual cooking experiences, The Same Plate creates inclusive spaces for people of all identities and backgrounds to eat, think, talk and connect.
In the wake of COVID -19, The Same Plate has partnered with CityCraft Foundation in an effort to support both our incredible healthcare workers and local restaurants in the Denver Metro area.
Why this campaign, you ask? Shortly after quarantine orders were put in place, numerous partner restaurants reached out, wondering how they were going to withstand months of reduced sales. At the same time, countless news stories began to circulate about the stress Corona is putting on our healthcare system. So, a group of us got together and said why don't we find a way to support local business and our healthcare workers? And we did just that.
How, you now ask?
1. The Same Plate is collecting monetary donations via the donate button on The Same Plate homepage (www.thesameplate.com).
2. The Same Plate will distribute that money to local restaurants to prepare takeout orders for local hospitals in Denver (St. Anthony's and Rose Hospital specifically).
Now, more than ever many of us are feeling called to support our communities, and this is one small way Kayla and her team have found to do so.
