Impossible Foods is partnering with Know Your Rights Camp, which was founded by Colin Kaepernick, to help provide food security to people in need. The collaboration was initially launched at Cornerstone Missionary Baptist Church, in San Francisco, and the project was undertaken with efforts from San Francisco Marin Food Bank and Al Pastor Papi Food Truck.
Impossible Foods will continue its efforts by donating to Know Your Rights Camp initiatives in Los Angeles and New York. The plant-based food company has also helped to provide 750,000 people with food during the pandemic.
In addition to providing food, Know Your Rights Camp focuses on promoting civil rights via education, as well as self-empowerment, and mass mobilization for children of color in the United States.
