Greetings!,
As
a valued supporter of Xpress Chefs, we are excited to share our special news
with you. Effective July 15, 2010,
our name and logo changed from Xpress Chefs to Lanakila Kitchen, a social
enterprise of Lanakila Pacific. All proceeds will continue to support
Lanakila Meals on Wheels and more!
As
you can imagine, this was not an easy decision to make. Over the last five years, we have worked with
hundreds of individuals and organizations who have come to know and trust the
Xpress Chefs name. Over that time, we've also become attached to the name
ourselves.
So why change our name?
|
We're growing!
|
|
 Put simply, we wanted a
name that better
reflects
who we are now and the
work we do today.
Thanks
to your support
over the years, we've expanded tremendously
and continue to
grow to meet the community's evolving needs.
Today, Lanakila Kitchen provides:
- Healthy breakfast and lunch programs
for schools and care centers;
- Catering for business meetings,
events and parties;
- Food packaging and wholesale food
services for retail partners;
- And we will soon offer farm to table
and farm to school services with the start of Lanakila Pacific's own Victory Gardens
and Hydroponics Farm later this year.
After careful consideration,the name and new look for Lanakila Kitchen was
selected to better express our vision to build a sustainable, healthy, and
local food system for our community.
It
also reflects our commitment to cultivating more nutrition education programs
for keiki, with the Let's Move with Michelle Obama and Healthy Schools
Campaigns sprouting up across the nation.
Lanakila
Kitchen is
now official and we will transition to the new name over time. During this
period of migration, you may see both names as we continue to use existing
supplies with the name Xpress Chefs to maximize resources. The Xpress Chefs name
remains registered as well so contracts may be updated at renewal.
Please
drop us a line to let us know what you think or visit us at www.lanakilakitchen.org to see what's new. Soon, we will introduce our new menus and more
program developments.
Mahalo
again your support! We look forward to
continue working together with you in building independence for challenged
lives.
With
aloha,
Marian
