ReRoot Meals

Delicious frozen meals, ready in 15 minutes

Fight food waste. Feed the community. Ono Vancouver created ReRoot as a social enterprise, selling delicious meals for nights when you don't have time to cook. 


We use surplus ingredients to help build a more sustainable food system and redirect sales revenue into our community meals program. 


We help you with cooking, and you help us fight food insecurity and help the planet - a win win win!

Chefs preparing meals for families in need during pandemic

LunchLAB shows kids how to grow and prepare food. When in-class instruction was suspended, the partners — Fresh Roots Urban Farm Society, Growing Chefs!, Vancouver school board, and Ono Vancouver chef TJ Conwi — quickly pivoted to provide more than 5,500 meals a week to hundreds of families.
