THE CORRESPONDENCE

At Care of Chan, our purpose has always been to protect, promote and progress voices in the food and beverage industry because it is our belief that food moves culture. Now more than ever, our culture must change and we believe the food industry can lead the way.
But first, the industry needs help to make it to the other side of our current situation. So, what can we as a community do to help? One way is by doing what we humans do best: create connections. Connections to jobs and opportunities within the industry (see Job Listings below), connections to new ideas and new resources, and most of all, connections to each other.
In support of this idea, starting today, we’ll be sending out the occasional correspondence with a collection of ideas, inspiration, tools and ways to connect. We’re hoping this helps all of us get through the winter, helps us evolve and helps us flourish.
And flourish we will. We see the light. Join us as we work together to build a better future for our collective community.
P.S. To make sense of what we learned last year and to create a path forward, we wrote down some best practices for our public and private lives. (Artwork by Nathaniel Russell.)

The Correspondence is a collection of ideas, thoughts and resources for our community by Care of Chan, a food culture agency.
