OUR STORY
Lotus Flower

Founded in 2016, Social Innovation Lab (SIL) began as an idea to fuse innovative, research-driven practices and the non-profit format, with the end goal being to improve social programs that benefit disenfranchised and at-risk populations.

That Pop-Up Restaurant

Combating Food Scarcity

That Pop-Up Restaurant (TPUR) is just how it sounds - We pop up to offer free meals to youth and families! When school is out for the summer, many children miss out on at least one guaranteed meal during the day. We operate during the summer months to bridge this gap and ensure that no child goes hungry at home. Our mobile food pantry program provides quality and nutritionally balanced options that not only taste great but is also served in an environment free of social stigmas that are typically associated with food pantries.

The federally funded Better Futures Projects (BFP) work with Family and Consumer Science teachers in Kansas and Oklahoma classrooms. With a focus on bringing quality curriculum to under-resourced schools in rural areas, the BFP have reached nearly 3,000 students across the region with evidence-based programs that help youth have the best start to their adult lives as possible.
