Hunger Won’t Win

Welcome to Life & Ladle

We are a for-profit social impact organization that works to eradicate hunger and food wastage. According to the USDA, over 44 million people in the United States alone live with food insecurity; meaning, they do not have regular access to the food resources they need to live a healthy life. Of that population, 13 million are children. 

We Are Not Ok With This.

Hunger shows up in every part of our country for many reasons,
but we at Life & Ladle focus on the fact that hunger is a physiological need we all experience. Everyone knows what hunger feels like in their bodies; it shouldn’t be a matter of having the ability to satisfy it.

That’s why our core belief is:
“All humans hunger; therefore, all humans should eat.”

No Ordinary Candle

Purchasing a Life & Ladle product helps to fill that gap by providing a meal for hungry families in our community. We are committed to donating 10% of our monthly sales to purchase food staples that help provide healthy and nutritious meals for families in need throughout the year.

Through our partnership with organizations like St. Vincent de Paul - Phoenix, we are able to help supply the groceries they need in their dining centers that feed thousands every day. To date, we have provided over 5,000 meals for hungry families!

This is just the beginning.

We’ve Got BIG Dreams!

Our current company goal is to #feedthe5000 and provide a minimum of 5,000 meals for hungry families in our community. Come join us! Become a Ladler and check out our products!
