Today, we’re asking our Food Mill family to show some extra love to our friends at Hudson’s!

Yesterday, Hudson’s experienced unexpected plumbing and AC issues that forced them to close their doors for the day. For any local restaurant, even one day of closure can have a significant impact. But if you know Hudson’s, you know that serving others is simply who they are.

While dealing with their own challenges, they are still stepping up to help families in our community by providing food and snacks for children this summer. From cereal and fruit to sandwiches, drinks, and easy-to-make meals, they are making sure local kids have access to food when school is out.

That kind of heart deserves our support.

If you’re looking for a delicious brunch today, head over to Hudson’s and help them recover from yesterday’s setback. Grab a meal, leave a generous tip, and if you’re able, consider donating kid-friendly breakfast items, snacks, drinks, fruit, or lunch goodies to help keep their shelves stocked this summer.

This is what community looks like—neighbors helping neighbors.

Let’s show Hudson’s the same love they continuously show our community. ❤️

Ok Fam. We are locked and loaded and ready for the babies this summer. ❤️

We’ve got cereal, oatmeal, grits, apples, oranges, pudding, pop tarts, chips, Capri Suns, sandwiches, waffles, we are making easy microwaveable breakfast biscuits, and whatever else we can think of to help out. We tried to focus on easy items kids could make themselves if necessary.

We know it’s not a lot, but if the babies need it, we got it. Period.

Food insecurity is real and summer can be stressful when school meals stop, but around here we do what we can with what we got. If you need a little extra help feeding your kiddos this summer, come see us at Hudson’s. No shame. No judgment. Just love.

And if anybody in Big Back Nation wants to help us keep the shelves stocked this summer, we’ll gladly take donations of kid-friendly breakfast items, snacks, drinks, fruit, or lunch goodies.

Them babies ain’t never going hungry around us. 🫶

What another incredible example of community collaboration in action! 🌱💚

A huge thank you to the woodworking department at Jordan Vocational High School College & Career Academy for creating these absolutely beautiful signs for The Food Mill Community Garden. Your craftsmanship, creativity, and hard work helped bring so much life and identity to this special space.

We also want to extend our sincere appreciation to Chattahoochee Fence Company for generously donating your time, labor, and materials to install the signs. Community partners like you are helping us build something that will have a lasting impact for years to come.

And another heartfelt thank you to Leadership Columbus for helping bring this entire vision together. This project is such a powerful reminder of what can happen when schools, businesses, nonprofits, and community leaders work side by side toward a shared purpose.

We are beyond excited with how everything turned out — and to make the day even sweeter, we harvested some of the very first grape tomatoes from the garden today! 🍅

This garden is growing more than fresh food. It is growing connection, education, health, and hope for our community. 🌿

Good morning from The Food Mill! ☀️🍽️

This week’s special was created by the talented Miss Shawanda, with one final recipe selection from our amazing Jordan Vocational High School / Career and College Academy interns — Tristian, Jason, and Nevaeh — before they graduate! 🎓❤️

The interns chose this delicious dish from Maggie Victoria Johnson in the Pull Up a Chair ~ Junior League Columbus cookbook:

✨ Salmon Piccata
served with balsamic glazed Brussels sprouts over couscous ✨

We are so proud of these students and grateful for the creativity, hard work, and joy they’ve brought to our kitchen. Stop by this week and help us celebrate them with a wonderful meal! 🥗🐟💛

Today we celebrated the incredible graduates of Truth Spring Trade School and the bright future ahead of each of them. Congratulations on your hard work, perseverance, and commitment to building new opportunities for yourselves and our community.

We are especially proud of the growing partnership between The Food Mill, Truth Spring Trade School, and Uptown Life Group to create meaningful culinary training opportunities that go beyond the classroom. Together, we are helping equip students with hands-on experience, workforce skills, and pathways toward long-term economic mobility.

This partnership represents what true community collaboration looks like — organizations coming together to invest in people, restore dignity through opportunity, and strengthen the future workforce right here in Columbus. Food has always brought people together, but it can also open doors, create careers, and transform lives.

To every graduate: this is only the beginning. Keep showing up, keep learning, and keep believing in what is possible. Your community is cheering you on every step of the way.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! 🎓👏
