WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT, NOW, MORE THAN EVER

Uhuru Foods & Pies is an institution of Black Star Industries with the goal to build an independent African economy. We ask all of our supports to contribute generously at this time. Putting the safety and health of staff, volunteers, customers and supporters FIRST has meant that we have had to temporarily close or severely slow down our operations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic severely exacerbates the conditions of systemic oppression and poverty that African people face, one of many injustices at the core of the current nationwide uprisings. While the U.S. government is giving away trillions of dollars of taxpayers’ money to large corporations, like Walmart and the airlines, Uhuru Foods & Pies has always worked and continues to work in the interest of our African community.

It is only the people who are supporting the Independent African Economy. Give generously and give as often as you can, now!

WHAT WE NEED

 We urgently need $5,000 (five thousand) dollars to:

• Pay staff
• Keep kitchen operations secured
• Keep our phone lines open
• Pay for insurance, inventory, vehicle parking
• Be in place to grow our wholesale and delivery when it is possible
• Contribute to the opening of Uhuru Jiko St. Louis

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Black Power Blueprint

Uhuru Foods & Pies supports the Black Power Blueprint, a black-led self-determination project in St. Louis, MO. The Black Power Blueprint is working to overturn the deep poverty and oppression faced by the African community of St. Louis’ northside through political and economic power in the hands of African working people.

We are in the process of funding and coordinating the opening of the Uhuru Jiko Commercial Kitchen in St. Louis, an outdoor event space and the African Independence Workforce Development Program.
