The Kindness Meal is a global movement reclaiming food as a source of identity, dignity, and intergenerational pride.

In a world where traditional food knowledge is vanishing, we preserve it through grassroots research, educate through intergenerational learning, and advocate for policy change that honours indigenous food systems. Our mission is rooted in three pillars — preserve, educate, and advocate — to ensure that food cultures are not lost, but passed on.
