Sometimes the biggest ideas start in the simplest places—like a kitchen. What began as a love of food and community has grown into something much bigger: a mission to make sure kids in Northern Michigan have access to healthy meals, dignity, and opportunity.
Through Cook It Forward, Adam Worden has turned generosity into a system—mobilizing restaurants, volunteers, and neighbors to support young people who need it most. But this story isn’t just about food. It’s about creativity, persistence, and the belief that when a community decides to care for its kids, remarkable things can happen.
In this episode of The Mostly Traverse City Podcast, we explore how one idea, one meal, and one determined advocate can start to change an entire region.
