We Create Pathways to Prosperity in Black & BIPOC Communities
Through proven programs in food entrepreneurship, cultural preservation, and community connection.
Community, in action.
This is what fuels everything we do. We provide the spaces, training, and networks that empower residents not only to participate in, but also to lead, the decisions that shape their future.
We put people first.
As a result, change happens.
In neighborhoods like Bayview Hunters Point, we see residents building thriving futures—launching businesses with our support and using their collective voice to shape the community.

Once we got access to that kitchen, that opened the door to be able to push Gumbo Social forward, over $35,000 in sales came directly from referrals or opportunities came directly from En2Action. For some people, that’s not a lot, but for us, it’s a game changer. That’s two months of payroll; that gives us an opportunity to build for the future.
