The Food Innovation Network (FIN), a vital program of Global to Local, is dedicated to nurturing the entrepreneurial dreams of our community members in South King County. Our incubator program provides affordable commercial kitchen and retail kiosk space, connects entrepreneurs to market channels, and helps them build the necessary skills and experience to grow stable, successful businesses. Beyond that, our food access work spans the entire community food system, from farm to fork, creating opportunities for community members to engage and increase ownership in the local food system.
Over the past year and a half, we’ve faced significant challenges. Leadership transitions and a decrease in funding throughout the nonprofit sector after the pandemic have made it difficult to maintain our momentum. Yet, our mission remains steadfast: to help generations of immigrants build self-sufficiency to support themselves and their families.
To continue our work, we need your support. It takes over $500,000 annually to operate the Spice Bridge Food Hall, covering maintenance, staff, support for entrepreneurs, and kitchen equipment. Your contributions to our Go Fund Me campaign will help us build a solid foundation to restructure, restrategize, and create a more sustainable program for the future.
Please join us in making a difference. Your monetary donations, spreading the word, or even visiting Spice Bridge can help us continue to support our community. Together, we can ensure that FIN remains a beacon of hope and opportunity for years to come.
Thank you for your support!
