Angelina Schapiro
Founder & Chief Development Officer
I was born in Northern California, but my roots are deeply tied to a multicultural journey shaped by my family's determination to provide me with better opportunities. My mom is from Costa Rica, and my dad, like me, is the son of immigrants—a blend that paints the backdrop of my diverse background.
Our family's journey has been filled with both highs and lows. While it's not always been a smooth ride, I've learned invaluable lessons about perseverance, gratitude, and the importance of giving back. My appreciation for the opportunities I encounter fuels my unwavering commitment to serving others every day.
I'm passionate about sustainable foods, regenerative agriculture, and microgreen farming. I advocate for creating an inclusive community with access to nutritious food through mutual support.
This commitment led me to launch the "Green Meals Project," a local grassroots-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to serving and fighting hunger among the unhoused members of our community.
Food security is critical to overcoming life's challenges, as access to food gives us the capacity to transform our lives. Together, we can create a better world where we live without limitations, focusing on consciousness, connection, and compassion for others.
