Community care — the sum of all our parts

Akitso collaborates with under-resourced food entrepreneurs to strengthen their brands, spaces, and systems. Many of our clients are ready to grow but lack the capital to update aging spaces or invest in the tools that meet today’s industry demands.

We’re leading critical renovation and design interventions—and we need your help to make them possible. We’re calling on designers, builders, suppliers, and tech partners to donate materials and tools that help us do just that—renovate and refresh community-rooted food spaces that need a hand.
