Support Honeysuckle Projects

We’re raising funding for Honeysuckle, a multifaceted community center where Black food puts its flag on a plate and stakes a claim for space in America—because America won’t acknowledge and give it that space.

We’re seeking to raise $250,000 for a space that will ideally be located in the Mantua section of West Philadelphia, where the average cost of a commercial property hovers around $180,000. The remaining funds will be used for staff, repairs, equipment, and beautification of the space to open in early 2022.

The Honeysuckle community center will include a grocery, meat market, café library, and supper club. Food spaces need to be reinvented to serve more than good food.

Honeysuckle will use history, the arts, education, agriculture, commerce, and food to pursue its mission.
