About Double Trellis Food Initiative
Double Trellis Food Initiative is a dual-impact nonprofit that provides free, dignified meals to food-insecure Philadelphians and offers paid culinary training to justice-involved youth. Co-founder and Executive Director Matt Stebbins organized Double Trellis with a two-pronged approach from the outset. Originally a mutual aid project providing protestors with food, we quickly pivoted to serving unhoused neighbors in areas where protests were taking place. Stocking mutual aid fridges during the Covid shutdown of 2020 became an integral part of our work. Our mission has evolved into something much larger than the sum of its parts. Since our formalization from mutual aid project to nonprofit organization in 2020, we’ve served over 150,000 meals across 14 zip codes—using donated farm fresh produce and rescued food to build a near-zero-waste system that tackles food insecurity and workforce barriers at the same time. Our work is efficient, collaborative, and rooted in lived experience.
