Partner with us

Restaurants, bars, bakeries, coffee shops, grocery stores & kitchens

We have partnered with several restaurants in Chicagoland to distribute warm meals to unhoused community members.

If you are interested in supplying us with warm meals, please text or email Alicia with the food item and pickup details.

Plate & Pathways also welcomes 1) food, beverage, and gift card donations for events and 2) food prep professionals who wish to lead nutrition education classes for youth.

Chefs, F&B staff, home cooks, butchers, farmers & dietitians

Plate & Pathways regularly hosts nutrition education classes for youth. Topics vary, but the main throughline is prepping healthy foods with affordable ingredients.

We welcome all food & beverage professionals, nutrition educators, agriculturists, and home cooks who wish to share their knowledge with the younger generation.

Please fill out the form to express your interest in hosting an upcoming class, donating food, or staffing an event.

Small businesses, local businesses, event vendors & venues

Sell clothing, home goods, toys, kitchen items, or furniture? Consider donating items for an upcoming giveaway event or outfitting and stocking our future community center.

We also welcome donations of silent auction items, goodie bag items, vendor services, and decor for fundraising events.

Or, if you have a rental space, we may be able to partner up on a community event. Let's talk!

Nonprofits, volunteer groups & community organizations

Plate & Pathways is always looking to form more community connections, whether that's us assisting you with your mission, or vice versa.

While our main focus areas are Rogers Park, Edgewater, Uptown and Evanston, we are open to partnerships across Chicagoland and all 77 community areas of Chicago.

Please provide details of how you'd like to collaborate with us, whether for a single event or an ongoing partnership.
