Together Around Food in Jefferson County, WA

Fifteen Days of Free Community Dining, Inspiration, and Connection.

What Is Together Around Food?

Together is an innovative community program being pioneered in the State of Washington with the intention of spreading worldwide. Its mission is simple yet transformative: to ensure that every person in a community has access to nutritious, gourmet, plant-based meals — three times a day, seven days a week — completely free of charge.

A Community-Wide Experiment in Healthy Living

What happens when an entire community comes together around delicious, nourishing food?

For 15 days, participants will enjoy free whole-food, plant-based meals, learn from inspiring speakers, connect with neighbors, and explore the powerful relationship between food and health.

Many participants choose to track measures such as weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, or blood sugar before and after the experience. Others simply pay attention to how they feel.

Either way, this is an opportunity to discover something for yourself:

How much better can you feel in just 15 days?

We will also be hosting a very special bonus Ask Me Anything with Dr Ted Barnett on July 28th – which they can join for free once they sign up for the free 1 year subscription.
