The team at Fresh Gatherings believes Black Lives and Black Trans Lives Matter. Fresh Gatherings is a student run restaurant built to create community and educational opportunities at SLU. Our team and the majority of our customers are students, a critical generation in impacting communities in St. Louis and in the businesses and communities our students make their own. This gives us confidence that if we start with change where we are, we can make a difference at the university and in the world. We recognize that our actions speak louder than words. We are studying and learning how to be anti-racist and stronger allies to BIPOC and the movement. As members of Saint Louis University, we are evaluating how we have upheld structures of systemic racism within the institution and are committed to addressing and dismantling them.
