Twice a month at W. 55th and Storer in Cleveland, We Think 4 a Change activates more than a food bank—it ignites a movement. Rooted in our mission to empower people living with HIV to lead, advocate, and thrive, this program is a living testament to what happens when equity, innovation, and community converge.

WT4AC’s Food Bank delivery isn’t just about distributing groceries—it’s about redistributing power. Clients living with HIV aren’t just recipients; they’re leaders. Through stipended service roles, they guide logistics, welcome neighbors, prepare meals, and share knowledge. Their lived experience shapes every detail, from the layout of the tables to the tone of the conversations. It’s peer-led, dignity-driven, and radically effective.

At each delivery, fresh produce, shelf-stable essentials, and culturally relevant ingredients are offered with care. But when neighbors hesitate to take unfamiliar items—like zucchini—WT4AC leans into creativity. We cook it. We serve it. We share the recipe. The zucchini noodle soup? A runaway hit. Light, nourishing, and full of flavor, it became a symbol of transformation: turning uncertainty into delight, and unfamiliarity into empowerment.

This culinary curiosity is matched by strategic outreach. HIV prevention resources, leadership development opportunities, and health equity messaging are seamlessly integrated into the flow. Flyers, QR codes, and warm conversations spark new possibilities—whether it’s linking someone to care, inviting them into advocacy, or simply reminding them they matter.

At W. 55th and Storer, twice a month, WT4AC proves that food justice is more than access—it’s agency. It’s what happens when a community refuses invisibility and builds power through every shared meal, every new recipe, every act of care. This is mutual aid reimagined. This is We Think 4 a Change.
