Denise Cerreta, Founder & ADVISOR

In 2003, Denise’s career changed from cafe owner to philanthropist and social entrepreneur. She is the founder of One World Everybody Eats [OWEE], a simple pay-what-you-can idea that has ripened into a global non-profit. It was a single moment in a standard day at her cafe, one that she calls her ‘Field of Dreams’ experience, that inspired this dramatic shift in the way she – and now, the world – views and supports feeding those who are hungry.

Working from a core belief in the delicate integration of compassion, food, community and social change, Denise is considered a pioneer in social service provision, and simply by sharing her own experiences, inspires others to do the same.
