About 

Alimentando al Pueblo (Feeding the people) is a Burien based nonprofit founded in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic as a Community and Cultural building organization. Our programs are rooted in a power sharing model with a goal to develop leadership within our Community. Together, we source and distribute culturally relevant foods, organize celebrations that promote social connections and healing, and center Latinx art and traditions in every aspect of our work to cultivate joy, pride, and cultural preservation.

Values 

Facilitate healing and the creation of memories 

Rooted in the knowledge of genetic memory, healing justice framework - and what is at the root of our work - is the intergenerational healing of Community members who have been disenfranchised and traumatized by colonial violence and the fierce and intentional reclamation of our Ancestral practices and futures, so we can thrive. 


Reinvest in our Community 

We partner and purchase directly from Latinx and BIPoC local farms, grocery stores, and distributors. We also work with Latinx and BIPoC artists, chefs, vendors, artists and creatives. 


Culture of Abundance 

We want to turn the scarcity model on its head, there is enough - there is more than enough for everyone. We are abundant in love, care, creativity and solutions. 


Provide culturally rooted services 

From the way we greet and serve our Community at our food bank, to how we are building the foundation of our organization infrastructure, we want to ensure that our services are rooted in Ancestral practices, values and ways of our Community.
