Drawing inspiration from the historic Black Panther Party Free Breakfast Program, the Def Chef and ARTE NOIR are partnering to offer a Free Community Breakfast Program in conjunction with the Central District Legacy: Black. Power. Black Panthers exhibition. 

​

For the first several weeks this summer, Def Chef is funding the program largely out of pocket while working to establish the consistency families can depend on. The menu will rotate based on seasonal availability and include items such as pancakes, fresh fruit, eggs, breakfast burritos, and breakfast bowls. The initiative seeks to nourish our community while honoring a tradition of service, dignity, and collective care.

​

We're asking the community to spread the word and to support this work through donations to the program.
