Making sweets simple
​
& giving back
​
​
Alms + Fare was founded in 2018 with a mission to make sweet things
simple, with treats that are delicious yet nutritious. By using just a few
quality ingredients to create our snacks and desserts, they are sure
to both benefit your body, and satisfy your sweet tooth. 

All of our treats are gluten free, dairy free, and
naturally sweetened - with all the goodness still packed in.
​​
We don’t just make delicious treats, we’re also on a mission to make healthy food 
accessible to all, to alleviate hunger in our city, and to teach the importance of
nourishing our bodies with good food. Every time you buy our treats, 
we donate to organizations who work toward this cause. This is what
the 'Alms' in Alms + Fare is all about - charitable giving.

Our Story










​​​​"I have always been interested in the impact of food on our bodies; the way it makes us feel, the energy it gives us, and how it has the ability to connect us to our community. As I started to learn, I noticed it was difficult to find unprocessed foods free of preservatives and chemicals, especially in the snack and dessert world. I figured there was no better way to start than providing people with food that was truly nutritious, inside and out. I wanted to combine this with my love for serving others. On several humanitarian aid trips, I learned that one of the basic necessities our world lacks, is nutritious food and this showed me what I am truly passionate about – making healthy food accessible to all and to teach the importance of nourishing our bodies with good food. This is exactly what I created Alms + Fare to serve."
