Support Us So We Can Continue To Plate It Forward
The Plate it Forward Initiative is being held by the non-profit SōL West Foundation. SōL West conducts and supports the education and proliferation of ancestral based, whole food nutrition and regenerative food systems, with an emphasis on benefits to children and young adults. They offer expertise and financial support to others engaged in similar nutrition, research, food system and well being activities. With your support, we can continue to train people to eat better, and train school lunch leaders in order to transform school lunch programs and communities.

Our Children Are Our Future
We are asking for your support so that we can continue our work and ramp up our operations. It’s a pivotal time for SŌL. For nearly a decade we’ve changed local schools and communities, trained hundreds of individuals, changed millions of meals, and earned our “street cred” by rolling up our sleeves and getting things done. We’ve got this, but we need your help!
We have countless connections with like-minded individuals, communities, schools, and policy makers that have built us a strong foundation and network. It’s now time to expand and create an even larger wave of change through increased in-person training, tool-kits and resources; online courses, and by working to help influence national school lunch policies. Together we can continue our mission of joyfully disrupting the trend of chronic illness in this next generation of children.
All Hands On Deck

- Create national policy to transform public
school lunch programs - Increase in-person training in 2025/2026

"The sense of community was my favorite. Everyone there was learning, listening and teaching. We instantly changed our way of eating at home. I found a passion for cooking with all that we learned. I also began the work of implementing a real food program at my school."
Cindy-School Nutrition Director, Palm Bay FL
"Everything has been very eye opening. I was so stuck on my path of what my school had accomplished, how far we had gone, and how much further we are than most schools. This gives me so much hope that I can do so much more for these kids. Little small changes, starting with a couple of things at breakfast, we’re going to introduce the sourdough bread. Little baby steps to more improvements, and providing kids with a healthier lifestyle."
