The evolution of Chickadee began like most movements, as an idea. At its core, it was a deep desire to do better for my community in a time of desperate need. I had good intentions of providing nourishment for my neighbors but I wasn't sure about the best place to bring it, or what the best thing to bring was. Through that journey, I found that there are a number of items that are routinely and desperately needed at food pantries and community fridges.

At Chickadee we focus on the oft missing spices, oils, and butters.

Spices, herbs, and oils aren't just for flavoring your food, they also provide necessary nutritional value to a community that often has to choose between health and affordability.

Chickadee sources spices from reputable local sources and when possible, mills whole spices days before drop off to maintain the nutritive value of the ingredients. Everything we produce is for donation to community fridges and food pantries in an effort to contribute to healthful offerings and direct meaningful support.

At Chickadee we believe in human connection and the individual responsibility we can each take on in helping those in need around us.
