Gwendolyn Gives Foundation is committed to improving the health of local communities through dietary, nutritional and culinary education.

It was not uncommon to see our founder, Gwendolyn cooking for her family, teaching her children a recipe, or sharing a home cooked meal with friends. She not only enjoyed cooking the local cuisine of her culture, frogmore stew, collard greens, hoppin john, and gumbo, she was also interested in learning about produce, herbs, spices, and dishes that were not common in her culture. She took this inquisitive nature and shared it with her children, introducing them to new and exotic fruits and vegetables. It was no surprise that she enjoyed eating from the earth, as her parents were farmers and had shown her the blessing of a cultivated seed in the ground. 

Gwendolyn believed in feeding her body the best and brightest, while staying true to her cultural cuisine and taste buds. This is why the Gwendolyn Gives Foundation seeks to partner with organizations that educate the local community on healthy eating, nutrition, and dietary practices. We believe families should not only eat well, but eat what pleases their palate.
