Story of Passion, Purpose, and Parenthood
At Color the Cure Foundation, our roots are deeply personal and resonate with the struggles many face daily. Founded by Monique Stokes, a single mother who navigated the challenges of providing nutritious options for her children on a limited income, our journey is a testament to resilience and empathy. Monique's experiences, both in her upbringing volunteering and working with several non-profits as a child and adult in her community and as a single parent in a low-income household, laid the foundation for our mission. Her extensive research into food sources and recycling practices, fueled by her desire to give her children a healthy start, ignited an unwavering passion to educate and inspire families and communities. For Monique, the turning point came with the untimely loss of her father to pancreatic cancer, a poignant reminder of the critical need for a healthy lifestyle. This loss deepened her resolve, knowing that if she was struggling to provide healthy options for her children, other parents were facing the same challenges.
Let's paint the world with knowledge and Color the Cure.
Our Mission
Knowledge, Nourishment, and Transformation
At Color the Cure, we understand that knowledge alone isn't enough to tackle food insecurity. That's why our mission is two-fold: to provide indispensable education on healthy eating and environmental responsibility, and to ensure that low-income families have direct access to nutritious food and clean water. We're passionate about transforming communities by filling plates with wholesome food, while also teaching sustainable practices to combat global warming and reduce carbon footprints. Our goal is to create a world where healthy eating and sustainability are accessible to everyone, starting at the dinner table and extending to our planet.
Color the Cure sees a future where wellness and environmental sustainability are interwoven into the fabric of every community, particularly those facing the greatest challenges. Our goal is to ignite a transformative movement, where education on nutrition and ecological responsibility doesn't just inform, but actively shapes healthier, more sustainable communities. We are committed to nurturing a world where the health of our people and our planet are inextricably linked, paving the way for a thriving future for all generations.
