Plate It Forward

Plate it Forward Southington – Nourishing
Our Community, One Meal at a Time

Plate it Forward Southington is a heartfelt food-sharing initiative launched by the Friday Morning Breakfast Club (FMBC), a local business networking group founded by Realtor Gary Brummett in early 2022. FMBC members gather bi-monthly at different restaurants to share breakfast, exchange ideas, and support local businesses. A portion of their funds covers breakfast costs, while any extra contributions go directly to local nonprofits, reinforcing their commitment to giving back.

​

How It Works
Plate it Forward Southington follows a pay-it-forward model:

Buy a Meal, Give a Meal – When dining at a participating restaurant, you can purchase an extra meal for someone in need.
Meal Receipts on Display – The pre-paid meal receipt is posted on the Plate it Forward Southington board inside the restaurant.
A Helping Hand for Those in Need – Anyone facing food insecurity can pick a receipt from the board and enjoy a meal, either dining in or taking it to go (limited to one per person per day).

Adopt a Restaurant, Make an Impact

More Than a Meal — Building a Stronger Community
Plate it Forward Southington isn’t just about food—it’s about community, kindness, and hope. It reminds those in need that they are surrounded by generosity and support. And one day, we hope they, too, will be able to pay it forward.

Join us in making a difference — one meal, one act of kindness at a time. ❤️
