A Plant-Based Mobile Wellness Program

Grandma LuLu’s Table advances food justice by empowering communities through the mobile distribution of nutritious, plant-based meals to food insecure and economically disadvantaged individuals, families, and communities in San Diego County. We provide education to communities on how these low-cost meals can be replicated at home and advocate to ensure families, schools, and communities have access to nutritious plant-rich diets.

We partner with local community-based organizations, focusing on locations with a statistically higher prevalence of health and food access inequities. Our plant-based meals are prepared under the oversight of a nutritionist, volunteer chefs, and culinary students. The plant-based meals we serve are focused on turning healthy, inexpensive, accessible ingredients into delicious, nutritious, and relatable meals for the communities we serve.

Our Impact:

  • Served 4,500 meals to individuals, families, and communities across San Diego County.
  • Held 30 plant-based meal distribution events in neighborhoods with statistically higher prevalence of health and food access inequities.
  • 100% of free meals distributed cost less than $5 per person to recreate at home.

The efforts of Grandma Lulu’s Table to advance food justice through advocacy, education, and the distribution of plant-based meals has important secondary benefits for the community.

  • Health – Integration of nutrient rich, healthy, plant-based meals has positive impacts on the physical health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities, breaking away from the dominant food system focused on fast food and empty calories.
  • Economic – Education on plant-based recipes/diets provide households a low-cost alternative for meals.
  • Environmental – Reducing meat consumption lessens the harmful impact meat production has on the environment, including climate change, deforestation, and pollution.

We appreciate any support you provide to help us sustain our mission.
