On The Menu, LLC is committed to giving back to the community.

Denver Urban Gardens (DUG) is a non-profit organization that operates and assists with the creation and management of over 60 metro-area community gardens and small parks. Primarily serving low to moderate income populations in urban neighborhoods, DUG provides opportunities for participants to supplement their diet with produce grown in nearby public gardens. Through the gardens, participants assume responsibility to improve their community, initiate a sense of pride in their surroundings, and improve their nutritional status through healthy, fresh food.

On The Menu assists DUG with developing recipes for educational purposes that utilize the fresh vegetables and herbs grown in their gardens. The recipes are designed for kids to prepare with the intention of promoting good health.

Project Angel Heart is a non-profit organization that provides meals to people living with life-threatening illnesses in Denver, Colorado. Last year On The Menu volunteered nearly 100 hours of nutrition analysis service to Project Angel Heart which translated into a $7500 in-kind donation.

“On The Menu’s services was exactly what we were looking for. Julie and Rebekah immediately grasped what we needed and were able to produce results quickly. They worked carefully with me to fine tune the information, assuring that we had useful and accurate data.”
