Mill Valley continues to churn out robust philanthropic efforts to bring meals to those who need them in creative ways.

Nutritionist Ilyse Petter, founder of O Baby Bar, has teamed with author and Mill Valley Library Foundation Board Member Kris Malone Grossman to launch Seed Releaf, a nonprofit organization that seeks to partner with local restaurants and farms to deliver free, freshly prepared, organic, plant-based meals to seniors, children and families, and other community members affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. They hope to deliver 200 such meals per week, Petter says.

Petter says the organization is currently working with Bill and Tyler Higgins of Floodwater and the Real Restaurant Group. They've already made deliveries to a group of home bound seniors, as well as children and their families in Venetia Valley schools.

"Inspired by the response to COVID-19 by World Central Kitchen and Support + Feed, we set out to support the momentous efforts already in place to meet the rapidly growing need for food in our community," Petter says. Our goal is to fortify all strands of the web, with a focus on ecologically sound organic nourishment from planet to plate to palate. Numerous organizations, both long-established and recently formed, are collaborating to meet burgeoning food needs in this pandemic moment.

"We're committed to complimenting rather than duplicating one another's efforts, with a focus on getting meals to those who may be unable to access food pantries or safely leave their homes," Petter adds. "We are also enormously grateful to the myriad organizations who've created brilliant blueprints for getting started."

The 411: Seed Releaf is a nonprofit organization that seeks to partner with local restaurants and farms to deliver free, freshly prepared, organic, plant-based meals to seniors, children and families, and other community members affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. They hope to hope to raise money to support their efforts and identify local restaurants with which to collaborate. MORE INFO.

Seed Releaf was launched to meet a growing need to support food security. We are partnering with local restaurants @floodwatermv and farms, preparing plant based, locally sourced, nutrient dense meals and delivering to those in our community who need them. We believe that by nourishing with plant based food we are fortifying the web of sustainability. #betterforyou #betterfortheanimals #betterfortheplanet #grownourishevolve #vegansifig #environment #localfood #localfarms #dogoodfeelgood #plantbased #sustainability

Thank you Enjoy MV! To clarify Seed Releaf's delivering freshly-prepared meals to school kids and families, individuals and seniors throughout Marin including Venetia Valley School and the Canal District (not yet Marin City, as noted above). Thanks again for spreading the word about this collaborative effort with Floodwater and our community of care!
