SALT PLUM started with my mother's recipe and a desire to do good for my community. I have always been inspired by how food can bring people together. The best part of any meal is being able to slow down, delight in earth's bounty and share with friends, family or even strangers.
My family's history with the demands of mental illness has shaped my understanding of the challenges faced by people trying to navigate the systems we have in place to protect our most vulnerable and marginalized. I am inspired to share the love that goes into my family recipes in the hopes that I can raise awareness and funds for better mental health resources.
We will be investing a percentage of our sales into nonprofit organizations whose goals are to end social and racial injustice. After the first day of launching we were able to contribute to the National Bail Out, which works to prevent people from staying behind bars simply because they cannot afford cash bail. A disproportionate amount of this country's incarcerated population have history of mental illness and the justice system falls far short in getting them the resources they need.
Thank you for supporting SALT PLUM. I hope that each tasty almond brings you joy and connection.
