We’re proud to officially launch Epilogue Kitchen Collective and The Footnote Project.
Epilogue is a newly approved commissary kitchen and collaborative culinary workspace operating out of Manuscript during our off-hours — created to support independent food businesses, pop-ups, and mobile food vendors in Tacoma.
Built directly into that model is The Footnote Project:
a community meal initiative focused on preparing and distributing free meals throughout Tacoma for under-resourced and food-insecure neighbors.
Our goal is to create an experience that blends elements of a full-service dining experience, test kitchen, and community gathering space — all offered free of charge and with no questions asked.
Additional meal distribution will take place through community centers, public parks, and shelters throughout Tacoma.
The vision has always been simple:
create a kitchen that continues serving people even after restaurant service ends.
We believe food can create opportunity, dignity, connection, and care — and we believe restaurants can play a bigger role in the communities around them.
After a long process, we’re excited to finally bring this project to life.
Now accepting commissary users who vibe with what we’re doing.
More details, partnerships, and community meal events coming soon.
