ABOUT THE OASIS

AND ITS ROOTS

In 2019 Avole Coffee was awarded a grant from the Food Access RFP hosted by the Human Service Department as part of the programming that came out of the Sugar Tax funds. We realized that many people looked at the original Cafe Avole space as both a refuge and a place for economic opportunity. 

During this time we worked on building curriculums and building programs that supports an equitable economy. We focused on the collaborative mechanisms that naturally occur in our diverse cultural setting found in South Seattle, we were inspired to see if we can encourage this behavior to stimulate economic growth. 

We originally called the program Avole Community Kitchen, but over time we realized what we were really doing was cultivating an oasis in a desert of limited opportunity. We want to power share across BIPOC Communities to grow a Food Oasis across low-income communities.
