  ONe TRUe LOVe

  Dec 2010 - now

  Co-Founder & President

  Volunteer Management, Event Planning, Restaurant Management, Social Media Management.ONe TRUe LOVe is a Phoenix-local non-profit on a mission to serve the hearts, minds, & bodies of every human being through the distribution of food, educational classes, & community building events. Since our inception, we have served over 25,000 meals to those in need around the Valley. Our most recent accomplishment is the launch of our Non-Profit food truck. Our food truck has allowed us to increase our impact by about 500%. We have 3 primary activities with our food truck:The first activity is our lemonade fundraisers. We serve the BEST gourmet organic lemonade at food truck events in effort to spread awareness & raise money for the cause. The second (and most exciting!) activity that we launched is a food rescue program. We capture food waste from other local food truckers, restaurants, & grocers in the Valley, transforming it into a full menu for those in need. At these events we serve 80-160 individuals on a "pay-as-you-can"​ basis. The third activity is our monthly 'blow-out' outreach events. We host themed events for those in need, and serve 800-1200 meals. At these events, we serve only one menu item, but we also offer other much needed items- dog food, hygiene kits, sun protection items, etc. We are looking forward to growing our business in the next few months.... our concept is one of a kind in the nation, and we have a LOT of ideas in the pipe line! Without a doubt, THIS is the reason I am alive... food is just an excuse to get to know someone... to see someone.... to help them feel HUMAN again. Show less

  I worked in all of the departments at Whole Foods Market Tempe. I filled in wherever I was needed. My extensive history in customer service, health & wellness, & restaurant management allowed me to drop into any position and add valuable support to the team.
