Micheal Sparks, CEO, the Underground Kitchen Community First (UGK CF): “Feeding Change: Where Community Meets the Kitchen”

  • Virginia Museum of History & Culture 428 South Arthur Ashe Boulevard Richmond, VA, 23220 United States (map)

The Underground Kitchen and its evolution are an inspiring story in the Richmond community. In March of 2020 during COVID, this roving experimental dining company was forced to shutter its business. Afterward, Micheal Sparks and his expert chefs devoted their culinary talents to supporting food insecure children, families, people with disabilities, and seniors. They provide a consistent source of nutritious and healthy, chef-made meals for residents of underserved communities, as well as for others in food insecure situations due to environmental or social events. A former creative leader in the fashion and eyewear industry, Michael Sparks is a dynamic speaker, with a remarkable personal and professional story.
