Raffle Alert: Get a Chance to Win Sauces as Part of the Lift Every Fork Challenge!

Update: The raffle has been put on pause due to technical difficulties. We’ll let you know when it is back up and running.

Get a chance to win some of our sauces! We’re partnering with Lift Every Fork for the Lift Every Fork Challenge! Lift Every Fork serves as a platform to uplift recognition of Black-owned and BIPOC-owned food businesses throughout the United States. The Challenge encourages people to purchase from often underrecognized groups in the food space. As the pandemic has highlighted, Black/BIPOC businesses face a lack visibility in the food scene and the media due to systemic practices that devalue Black/BIPOC voices. This lack of visibility has been a well-known issue in the food space for a long time. When we’re not invited to the table, the only choice we have is to build our own.

Help us to bring more visibility to Black/BIPOC food businesses. For the month of September, participants in the Lift Every Fork Challenge will be eligible to win some of our handcrafted signature sauces. Our Caribbean sauces are made in small batches to ensure quality, and they are bursting with flavor! We aim to source our ingredients as locally as possible, and many of the local farms we purchase from are Black-owned. All of our sauces are made with 100% real fruit, vegetables, and herbs, AND they are vegan. Our sauces are all-natural – we do not use any artificial preservatives or fillers.

Entering the challenge is super easy. For the month of September, be sure to:

✔️ Purchase from a Black-owned restaurant or food product business through September 30th⁠
✔️ Post about it on Instagram AND tag 5 friends⁠
✔️ Use #lifteveryforkchallenge in your post or caption⁠
✔️ DM the post to @lifteveryfork. This ensures that she sees the post even if you have a private account.

So, how will you lift every fork? Challenge yourself to try some new spots or food products.

  • If you’re in the DMV, reference this list from Feed the Malik.

  • If you’re outside the DMV, here are additional lists you can check out. You can also Google black-owned restaurants in your area.

  • Please don’t forget to patronize food product businesses that do not have a physical location (ex. ours). Many Black/BIPOC businesses may lack the capital to have a physical space, and selling online is a cost-effective avenue. Many of these businesses ship nationwide or regionally.
