ABOUT TASTE PROJECT’S PROGRAM

Taste Project is established to feed, educate, and serve our community so they may, “…taste and see the Lord is good.” (Psalm 34:8).  We believe everyone should have access to healthy and nutritious food.  And it is our vision to see our community be the response to the challenges our community faces as it relates to hunger.  Our first project is a pay-what-you-can restaurant providing meals to 20% of guests in need based on the generosity of the remaining 80% of guests.  We are seeking KERNEL seed funding to support meal service expansion to include breakfast.

 

ABOUT KERNEL LIVE

KERNEL, a program established in 2016 by the United Way of Tarrant County, fosters social innovation within Tarrant County and provides resources and seed funding for organizations and programs that comprise a combination of social impact, a sustainable revenue model, and an innovative approach to solving the social challenges in our community.  The KERNEL program’s primary purpose is encouraging social innovation, connecting with community initiatives to nurture great ideas and making significant changes in key community challenges. By working with a cross-sector of people, organizations, nonprofits, for-profits and entrepreneurs to solve problems, we believe KERNEL can uncover world-changing ideas and help bring them to life.
