Sponsor Highlight: The Quarantine Project
By: Paige Japinga
In the midst of the global lockdown, Rick DeSimone found solace in cooking. A culinary enthusiast with a heart for giving back, he stumbled upon the perfect blend of spicy ingredients and charitable ambitions. What started as an experiment became the Quarantine Project, which aimed to create more than just a flavorful condiment.
The Quarantine Project distinguishes itself by supporting various nonprofits that align with Rick’s values. Each sauce, from bold serrano to chipotle and lemon, embodies his desire to give back to causes close to his heart.
The mission of Kenzi’s Causes struck a chord with Rick personally. Having grown up in Denver, Colorado, he relied heavily on local organizations’ assistance, which ultimately created a strong bond with the community. The focus on serving under-resourced families aligns with his experiences and values, making it a cause he is particularly passionate about.
He reminisces,
“A lot of our food came from donations and Christmas presents from philanthropic families. That help dramatically improved the quality of my childhood, and I know how important the work of these organizations is to our communities.”
And this was how the Quarantine Project’s newest hot sauce, “Tot Sauce.” was born. Tot Sauce is a mild sauce crafted specifically for children. The sauce is tangy and flavorful with almost no bite and has earthy Mexican oregano to round out the flavor. This sauce is perfect for eggs, tacos, mac n cheese, chicken nuggets, and of course, tater tots! For every bottle sold, $0.25 is donated to our causes.
The Quarantine Project is about more than just hot sauce; it’s about channeling fiery passion into meaningful impact. And we are so grateful to be included in the list of nonprofits Rick selected to serve. With each bottle, Rick is turning up the heat to make the world a better place for underprivileged families and children.
Whether you’re a spice enthusiast or someone who believes in the strength of community, Kenzi’s Causes and the Quarantine Project invite you to join the journey. With each delicious drop of Tot Sauce, you’re savoring the flavor and spreading kindness. The path to a brighter future is often as simple as embracing a spicy mission and pouring a generous heart.
