Every Saturday, dozens of unhoused San Diegans line up outside the Small Potatoes Foundation’s pop-up in Pacific Beach for a home-cooked meal and a brief reprieve after a week of hardship. The menu includes Waldorf chicken salad sandwiches with fresh herbs, freshly baked muffins, fruit, and coffee—organic when possible, and all made with love. The weekly brunch has grown over the last year and a half into a mission of hope, connection, and nourishment. That mission is deeply personal for Small Potatoes’ founder, former caterer and personal chef Jodie Armer. Armer says she would expand further, but securing funding to feed a growing number of guests has been a challenge.
