✨ Cook Up Prosperity for the New Year ✨

As we step into a new year, we honor a powerful Black Southern tradition rooted in hope, abundance, and intention.
Black-eyed peas for wealth.
Greens for money.
Cornbread for gold.

While our New Year’s Eve giveaway has ended, you can still get Prosperity Meal Bags during MLK Weekend and Juneteenth.

This month is especially meaningful as we celebrate 10 years of public health service to the San Francisco Bay Area. A decade of showing up, feeding bodies and spirits, and honoring culture as a pathway to healing.

We invite you to make this dish, share it with loved ones, and step into the new year grounded, full, and prosperous.

Here’s to abundance, legacy, and community.
Here’s to 10 years. 🦉✨
