 There will be no FACES in March, but save April 18, 6-8 pm for more social enterprise networking and inspiration! As always, the Social Venture Partners RI, and RallyRI, teams will be waiting for you at the Friendship Cafe, 500 Broad St. in Providence!

Introducing... Jamie Oliver at Home
 Jamie Oliver At Home is a Rhode Island start-up based on the successful UK home party business led by Jamie Oliver, celebrity chef and best selling author. After becoming aware of Jamie during his Food Revolution television series, CEO Tim Brown was impressed by Jamie's passion for educating people about how to eat better food, and live better lives.
With Tim's leadership background in the direct sales industry, he pursued a partnership with the Jamie Oliver and his team, and is currently launching this social business model in 2013 here in the US. The JOAH team - based in Hope Artiste Village, in Pawtucket, RI - plans to build on the awareness driven by the Food Revolution movement and carry the "Better Food Better Life" mission to homes across America on a daily basis.
AND Urban Greens
Urban Greens Food Co-op is working to open a full-scale consumer-owned cooperative grocery store on Providence’s west side, to provide direct access to affordable, local, and healthy products.
Consumer Co-ops benefit both the individual member-owners and the broader community:
● Members get to have a direct say in the food they’re eating, and the store they shop at, as well as financial benefits in the form of member sales, bulk ordering, and patronage dividends.
● The Community benefits because more dollars are kept in the community to circulate locally, and the coop will be sourcing heavily from local producers, creating more affordable, healthier, and tastier food options.
Why FACES?
- Meet some of RI's leading social entrepreneurs
- Create new collaborations
- Learn about opportunities in the growing social venture sector
- Meet community and business leaders who are suporting social ventures
