Become A Partner
Together, we can grow more, feed more, and change more.
Partnership is at the heart of everything we do at Zealous Empowering Nurturer (ZEN). We know that solving food insecurity and promoting health equity is bigger than one organization — it takes a network of passionate changemakers, each bringing unique skills, resources, and perspectives.
By becoming a ZEN Partner, you join a movement that’s transforming how Charlotte grows, eats, and thrives. Whether you’re a school, business, faith community, nonprofit, or civic group, there’s a place for you to make an impact.
