A Message From Our Founders.
At Fork and Shovel Collaborative, our mission is simple yet powerful: Christ is our foundation. Hospitality is our platform. Community is our calling.
We believe every person has value and purpose. By providing Christ-centered training and real-world opportunities in hospitality, we walk alongside men and women facing barriers to employment—empowering them to step into their God-given potential.
Why We Exist
Several years ago, God placed a vision on our hearts: to create a place where food, faith, and fellowship could change lives. Out of that vision, Fork and Shovel was born.
Practical Training
equipping individuals with culinary skills and workforce readiness.
Spiritual Formation
teaching Christ-centered lessons to navigate life’s challenges and victories.
Community Bond
bringing people together through meals, service, and shared experiences.
How We Live Our Mission
Together, let’s share hope through hospitality.
The Fork and Shovel Collaborative is more than a nonprofit. We are a movement of faith, food, and fellowship—building a table big enough for everyone.
