The Social Impact Series is BACK, baby!

On May 22, 2025, join Vetri Community Partnership in a conversation with @sarelaherrada, co-founder and co-CEO of @eatsimpli, the leading maker of regenerative organic pantry staples. In 2024, Sarela and her husband, Matt, moved SIMPLi's headquarters to Philadephia--we are thrilled to welcome Sarela into the Teaching Kitchen for a chat about food, sustainability, and what regenerative organics really are. Our chat with Sarela will start at 8 am and will wrap up promptly at 9:30 am.

The Social Impact Series is totally free to attend, but we do ask that you register, (link in bio). Spots are limited, so sign up today to save your spot!
