What Is It?
LET’S EAT! is a pay-what-you-can food share and culinary skill-building program designed to support sex workers with food access. The program combines food distribution, practical cooking education, harm reduction supports, and community connection.
Rooted in dignity, trust, and intergenerational knowledge, LET’S EAT! prioritizes sustainability, cultural relevance, and collective care rather than charity-based models.
The program is run by Cleo May Collective in partnership with Royalty Entertainment Company (REC) and supported by community collaborators.
How it works!
