With $500, Maisie will batch-cook rich, comforting vegan and gluten-free meals like massaman curry and korma, delivering them to community members who are housebound, immunocompromised or simply exhausted. She hopes to pair the meals with a weekly video call, so everyone can eat together (even through a screen) sharing nourishment, connection and the feeling of being held by community care at its most delicious.
