In 2020, NMCO partnered with La Semilla Food Center to provide small businesses with identity and web development services through a grant process. One Grub Community and their non-profit, Planty for the People, were awarded this grant as their farm-to-table, pay-it-forward diner exemplified the kind of work we like to see in the community. Since then, NMCO has helped with routine website updates, as-needed graphics, and even video production. We sure want to see them grow.
Our designers created a series of hand-drawn logos with illustrated assets that portrayed the human connection to each other and food. We highlighted a food board with some of El Paso’s agricultural staples and veggies that One Grub Community Diner grows on their urban farm. We also created an option featuring their Pay It Forward coin or emblem, a buy a meal pay for a meal model, sharing wholesome vegan food to those who may not usually have access to it.
Fast forward to 2023, After Chef Roman Wilcox participated in the HBO hit, “The Big Brunch”, One Grub Community needed a new location, so NMCO wrote and directed an awareness video to help them try and reach their Go Fund Me Goal. If you are reading this while the Go Fund Me is still active, we encourage you to go donate today! This is a place that deserves it.
