Feed the Mass’s mission is to empower and connect the people of Portland through food. They seek to empower through culinary education, teaching the valuable skills and knowledge people need to make informed choices about their food and nutrition, and by providing essential sustenance to those facing food insecurity.
Education Programs Feed the Mass has partnered with community organizations to offer wellness classes to students during the school year and summer breaks to address disparities. They also offer free digital education on YouTube. Feed the Mass also offers hands-on experiences for adults and families through their in-person workshops led by expert instructors.

Job Readiness Training The FED program is a food empowerment initiative delivered by Feed The Mass. The program seeks to combat food insecurity at its source by serving healthy satisfying and delicious meals for those in need. The FED program combats food waste by turning donated food “into high quality” nutritious meals that are served to their most vulnerable neighbors.
The FED program provides the opportunity for youth and young adults to train to have the skills they will need to work in the industry and to demonstrate competency in any kitchen. The FED program provides free education on the following concepts: knife skills, sanitation, food preparation, proper use of the kitchen equipment, professionalism and trainability, recipe literacy, and real world experience and pressure testing. Commitment to the program is 10 weeks at 12 hours per a week. Mondays are classroom days for 2 hours and the rest of week is flexible to accommodate schedules. At the end of the 10 week program, participants will have a certificate and Food Handlers cards to get them ready to work in the culinary industry. https://www.feedthemass.org/jrt
