Memorable words of César E Chávez
Chilis on Wheels was started on November, 2014 by Michelle Carrera. After searching for a soup kitchen that would serve a plant-based Thanksgiving meal and coming up empty, she decided to cook her own chilis and take them directly to people in need of a warm meal. After receiving a lot of support and encouragement from family and friends, and after seeing first hand the need for such a program, she became inspired and committed to bringing plant-based food to those in need.
In NYC, meals are distributed once a week to people in Tompkins Square Park that want a warm meal. Most soup kitchens close their doors over the weekends, creating a vaccum in services. Chilis on Wheels aims to cover that need and act as a bridge. We have chapters across the country in: Passaic, NJ; Philadelphia, PA; Boston, MA; Denver, CO; Portland, OR; San Diego, CA; and Puerto Rico, with new chapters opening up.
