Imagine a world where no food is wasted, beauty and hospitality welcome people around a shared table with dignity.

Support our mission to prevent food waste and social isolation through sustainable healthy food and well-being.

Culture is transformative.  We are spreading a culture of value around the world by caring for the health of the planet and wellbeing of people.  Everyday more than 1/3 of the food we produce for human consumption is wasted while over 800 million people worldwide face hunger and lack access to fresh affordable food.

Our mission is finding solution in both challenges through programs that improve the sustainability of our food system, well-being and social inclusivity for those individuals most vulnerable.  Through advocacy, good food education and the collective impact of Refettorio projects worldwide, we show the hidden potential around us to create social change.

Our impact delivers more than numbers.  The wasted food we save, the nourishing meals we serve, and the network of partners we strengthen are about creating a community of Changemakers working toggether to create the social infrastructure necessary for a thriving people and planet.

"Culture brings knowledge. Knowledge leads to consciousness. And when we become conscious we are one short step away from becoming socially responsible. Culture is the key."
