The Prospect KC is a nonprofit social enterprise founded in 2019 by Chef Shanita McAfee Bryant, dedicated to transforming lives through food by addressing food insecurity and creating economic opportunities in Kansas City. Through hands-on culinary training, food redistribution, and supportive services, they empower individuals facing barriers to economic mobility, ensuring access to resources and opportunities for personal growth.

One of their key initiatives, Nourish KC Community Kitchen, rescues surplus food to provide nutritious meals for vulnerable residents while offering a 16-week culinary training program that equips participants with essential skills for sustainable careers in food service. The Prospect KC also operates The Nook, a training coffee shop that provides workforce development opportunities and barista training for program participants.
