No More Empty Pots

We are creating a brighter, more self-sufficient future for all. Let us sow the seeds of change, invest in nurturing one another, and cultivate a "Legacy of Love" that uplifts and sustains a thriving community!

The mission of No More Empty Pots is to connect individuals and groups to improve self-sufficiency, regional food security and economic resilience of urban and rural communities through advocacy and action. We support communities in becoming self-sufficient and food secure through a systems approach to solutions.

Every gift matters. A donation now makes lasting change. Your gift of $100 will purchase a textbook for a student in the Culinary Certificate Program or cover costs to purchase 60 pounds of seasonal produce from a local farmer.
