Aangen: A Community Service Organization

​

Aangen is a not-for-profit social enterprise dedicated to providing sustainable, solution-based responses to social injustices locally and globally. We focus on breaking the cycle of poverty through innovative programs that address hunger and homelessness, create employment opportunities for marginalized individuals, support families in crisis, and much more.

We raise funds for our community service programs by offering nutritious meals, providing cleaning services, and partnering with agencies to create employment opportunities.

Green Recycle Symbol

Braiding Sweet Grass
“In a consumer society, contentment is a radical proposition. Recognizing abundance rather than scarcity undermines an economy that thrives by creating unmet desires. Gratitude cultivates and ethic of FULLNESS but the economy needs EMPTINESS.
Gratitude doesn’t send you out shopping to find satisfaction. It comes as a gift rather than a commodity subverting the foundation of the whole economy. That’s GOOD MEDICINE for Land and People Alike.”

Our Impact

Food Production

This stage focuses on urban or local food production efforts, supported by rescued food. These agricultural initiatives can help produce fresh food locally, closing the loop between waste reduction and sustainable agriculture.

Worm Composting

The organic waste from food rescue efforts (such as scraps and inedible food) is processed into nutrient-rich compost through vermiculture. This composting not only recycles waste but also provides critical nutrients for soil.

Food Rescue

At the top of the cycle, this represents the collection of surplus food from various sources that would otherwise go to waste. It serves as the foundation of the system by addressing food waste and redistributing it to those in need.

Employment Creation

By establishing food rescue initiatives, various employment opportunities emerge, especially in logistics, food distribution, and community education. This step also empowers local communities by providing jobs and skill-building opportunities in areas related to sustainable food management.
