Vegan Bodega Helps Communities in Need

From onegreenplanet.org

LaRayia's Bodega is known not only for their delicious vegan food, but also for helping communities in need. Now they are coming to Atlanta as well.

The bodega was created by LaRayia Gaston, who also directed a documentary where she helped people on skid row by providing healthy vegan food.

The Atlanta bodega will be a grab-N-go vegan location where people can buy breakfast, lunch, or dinner, as well as a variety of ready-to-eat snacks, drinks, and other types of merchandise.

Gaston also runs a non-profit called Love Without Reason, which provides food to people on Skidrow through the program, Lunch on Me. They serve 10,000 organic and vegan meals six days a week. The non-profit will also help the homeless in Atlanta by handing out free vegan food at Woodruff Park every Friday.

Gaston said, “We want to make it easy to eat vegan and feel good. Our aim is to take familiar recipes and pump them up a notch with ingredients made from the freshest produce. We can’t wait to bring some of what we love from our Los Angeles bodega to Atlanta and support the local homeless community through Lunch on Me.”

This is an amazing vegan restaurant that has taken the goal a step further by helping local communities and making sure that the homeless have access to healthy, nourishing vegan food.
