The Solano-Napa SBDC is proud to partner with The City of Vallejo and Fighting Back Partnership in Vallejo, CA to feed and support the community through the Restaurant Resiliency Program. Over the last 20 weeks, 22 locally-owned restaurants have delivered 4,000 hot meals that Fighting Back volunteers have distributed at homeless encampments and area schools. The restaurants, all still recovering from the impacts of the pandemic, are reimbursed for every meal they prepare. Thank you to the City of Vallejo for supporting this program with $100,000 in ARPA funding. Restaurant Resiliency will come to a close this month, but organizers say the partnerships that have been built through this program will continue to hold strong.
Have you been looking for a way to share your cooking, baking or food traditions with your neighborhood and community? Or perhaps you’re a food entrepreneur looking to operate your business from inside your home?

We're hosting an Introduction to MEHKO webinar Dec. 6, 2 to 4 pm.

The cars begin lining up outside Fairfield's Anna Kyle School by 4 pm Thursdays. Inside the vehicles are families, many with small children, looking forward to a hot meal prepared by an area restaurant as part of the Restaurant Resiliency Program. This program is supported financially by Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District and Kaiser Permanente Thrive Northern California Community Benefit Programs and administered locally by the Solano-Napa SBDC.
