DENVER — Fifteen years ago, Tocabe American Indian Eatery opened its first location in Denver, with a mission beyond simply serving delicious food — though ask its diehard fans, and they’ll tell you it has certainly done that, too.
Tocabe has gone a long way in fulfilling that mission, opening a second location in Denver and sharing Native American foods and culture to their nearly 10,000 followers on Instagram. Given that, it now is expanding its mission to address a key issue that many Native communities face: food insecurity.
The Direct-to-Tribe Ready Meal program gets microwave and oven-ready meals to people living on reservations. It’s a big need, with one in four Native Americans facing food insecurity in 2019, according to Feeding America. By comparison, one in nine faced food insecurity overall in the United States in the same period.
Tocabe has partnered with the Spirit Lake Tribe in North Dakota to start, following conversations with an advocate for the tribe, and will be sending 1,100 meals per month to income-eligible people there. The vision is to expand to more tribes as soon as this summer.
