Who it's for

Fresh produce at a farmers market

For Food Banks, Pantries & Produce Programs

You hand out beans, grains, and produce. We'll help people love cooking them.

The foods on a pantry shelf (dried beans, lentils, rice, oats, canned tomatoes, fresh and frozen vegetables) are exactly the foods WPU is built on. We make recipe cards and short lessons that turn those items into meals families ask for again.

Why distribution isn't the end of the job

Unfamiliar items, like a bag of dried lentils or a bunch of collards, can go unused if people aren't sure how to cook them.

Pantry clients are short on time and money. Recipes have to be cheap, fast, and use what's in the box.

What we offer

  • Recipe cards built around common pantry and produce items, with low-cost swaps.
  • A pantry-line version of "The Pantry Reset": one card, one idea, one meal.
  • A short version of the 9-week program for on-site classes or partner agencies.
  • Recipe cards free to reproduce for food banks and pantries.

WPU is in pre-launch. Materials are in draft, and founding partners help shape them before they open to everyone.
