#OUREntrepidNetwork – Introducing Sam Polk and EveryTable

www.everytable.com

Every body. Every block. Everytable.

CEO Sam Polk and the Los Angeles based EveryTable team are making good food accessible as an affordable alternative to fast food.

In their own words (www.everytable.com)

Our mission is to make good food available to everyone. We price our meals according to the neighborhoods we serve. So when you eat at Everytable, you’re paying less and bringing better food to more communities.

Healthy food is a human right. But $9 green juices and $12 salads make healthy food a luxury most people can’t afford. In fact, many communities in the U.S. have so little access to healthy, affordable food, they’re called “food deserts.” These communities experience high rates of obesity, diabetes, and stress.

Our goal is to make good food accessible and affordable in every community. At each store, we price our meals according to the income of the surrounding neighborhood. We make sure our food is affordable, and that each store is profitable.

#OUREntrepidNetwork – Introducing Lauren Gropper and RePurpose, Inc.

www.repurposecompostables.com

Innovative Tableware from Plants, Not Oil

Repurpose® founder & CEO Lauren Gropper is said to have dreamed about creating an everyday product that could impact millions of people. And we think she and her team have done just that.

In their own words (source – https://www.linkedin.com/company/777024/)

Repurpose was founded in 2010 by a group of eco-entrepreneurs driven to positively impact the environment by changing everyday behavior. Realizing the devastating effect single-use plastics were having on the environment and the fact that no alternatives existed for the consumer, Repurpose decided to manufacture its own. Repurpose, a line of sustainable tableware that looks out for the health of you, your family, and the planet, was born. Our mission is to reduce the amount of plastics in our environment and offer guilt-free, renewable alternatives. By purchasing from Repurpose, consumers support a woman-owned, sustainable company that is changing the world—one cup, fork and plate at a time.
