Stone Soup Kitchen · Community Garden Network
The Block
Your block. Your power.
A free kitchen. A community garden. Tools to take care of each other. Built in Quincy. Owned by you.
No one eats alone.
Come to the table. No questions. No cost. We take care of each other.
What The Block is
Come to the table. No questions, no ID, no cost. We share what we have — and no one eats alone.
Every decision about the kitchen, the garden, and the land is made by the community. You vote. Your vote counts.
We build it and run it for five years. Then the land, kitchen, and gardens transfer to your community nonprofit — at zero cost, permanently.
How it works
Come eat. Meet your neighbors.
Give a shift. Whatever fits your life.
Shape what your block does.
Elect your board. Yours in 5 years.
The full suite
Ten community services under one block.
The Block is the umbrella. Stone Soup Kitchen (FoodJoos) is the physical anchor; the Joos apps are the digital tools — three live today, seven on the way. Free to the community, built and maintained on the Foundation's behalf.
