Project Description



 

Anyone for roasted red cabbage, sweet and sour cabbage, german cabbage, red cabbage poppyseed slaw, warm red cabbage salad, grilled cabbage caesar, beet and cabbage borscht, or braised red cabbage with roasted oranges?

 

Hi I’m Lyla Wolfenstein and my company Full Belly Fare is on a mission to make a better world through feeding others. We do it in many, many different ways from helping food scarce families eat, providing a living wage for those who work for us in a warm loving community, and cooking food for individuals or families who are in need of some extra support, including people with a wide range of allergies and illnesses like Crohn's disease and Celiac disease. In fact, we have just signed with a new kitchen rental space, where we can be completely gluten free, avoiding cross contamination without compromising the deliciousness of our food. This is huge and this is why we need your help.

 

Full Belly Fare is a woman-owned, woman-run local business with 10 years under our belt, and in our hearts, of serving the PDX metro area. With this move, we will be expanding our FBF village to serve individuals and families throughout the United States. Our team cares deeply about what they do, which is reflected in the food and delivery service they provide.  

 

Here's why we need your help:

  • We are moving to a new, dedicated GF kitchen, and moving is expensive!
  • We’re launching nationwide shipping, which requires expenditures for  packaging solutions, website revisions, and outreach to get the word to potential customers!
  • As a small, local, personalized business, we are challenged by competition with huge national companies that have much greater resources both for marketing and production but whose food is nowhere near as delicious, nutritious and customizable. Still, we are dedicated to staying small and personal!
  • We need your help getting these new offerings going, and letting people across the country know that Full Belly Fare exists!

 

 

 

  Consider this: 

  Are you or loved one(s):

        - having a baby?

        - seniors aging in place?

        - recovering from surgery?

        - dealing with a loss?

        - living with chronic illness?

        - needing a special diet?

        - newly diagnosed celiac? 

        - struggling to feed yourself safely?

        - busy busy busy?


     

 

 

 

Everyone's body is different and at Full Belly Fare, we know and honor that! 

 

Full Belly Fare is dedicated to making delicious, nutritious food made with love

available for every BODY.

 

 

Many hands make delicious meals

Can you give us a hand to keep doing what we do?
 

Full Belly Fare serves as a virtual village for those whose personal village is geographically distributed and not able to help in person! 

 

  • Will you donate and receive either wonderful karma or a lovely reward?
  • Can you spread the word by either forwarding and sharing this campaign or our website

We are a small, local, non-corporate business with personalized service - that is at the heart of who we are, always have been, and will continue to be! I answer the phone personally, we design your custom menus striving to accommodate your special needs, tastes, and preferences. 

Don’t take our word for it about how lovable Full Belly Fare is! Here are some customers talking about their experiences:

As the busy Director of the Children’s Book Academy, with a ton of allergies and Crohn's disease, Lyla’s food keeps me alive. I look forward to it every week because it’s so delicious and nutritious, and the best bit, I can eat it and enjoy it safely. ~ Dr. Mira Reisberg

Everything I've ordered from here has been absolutely PERFECT. The flavors, textures, everything! My toddler, who has been on a semi-permanent hunger strike, even loves most of what gets delivered. I have also been so happy and amazed at how flexible the menu is for various food restrictions we have in our house. Thank you full belly fare!!! ~Joan P.

 

In a hectic and trying time for my family, Full Belly Fare has been a godsend! Not only is the quality impeccable, but the flavors Lyla manages to infuse into her gourmet dishes are incredible. We cannot wait for our next delicious delivery! ~ Sandra T.

  

I cannot express the feeling of relief to receive the bountiful delivery of pre-made healthy and delicious foods during the first week of parenthood. We placed a few more orders using the gift card provided by my coworkers, and when that was depleted, we continued to place orders because of the fantastic service, taste, and quality. ~ Emily S.

 

Oh my goodness! You know when you start raving about a salad at 4:00am, it was good. So GOOD! Everything I got my order has been my "favorite." The fact that I shared, was supreme act of love toward my husband. Full Belly Fare is like mana from heaven for a new mom. Or anyone!" ~ Beth T.

 

Thank you to our tremendous community for your support and excitement about our growth and changes over the years - we are thrilled to be launching these changes and we couldn't do it without YOU!

 

Please check out the rewards and join us in this campaign to help Full Belly Fare do even more good throughout the US.
