Devin’s Recognition: Empowerment – Leadership
Devin August Sailer has been named a finalist in the Empowerment – Leadership division for his work founding and expanding Safe to Eat, a nonprofit that fills a life-saving gap for families entering crisis housing.
About Safe to Eat
Safe to Eat was created to address an often overlooked challenge:
Families frequently enter domestic violence and homeless shelters with little or no notice, and many do not have access to foods that are safe for their dietary or medical needs.
This is especially dangerous for the large number of children living in shelters, many of whom have food allergies or intolerances that can lead to life-threatening reactions when safe food options are not available. Most shelters rely on donated food, bulk ingredients, or shared kitchens where cross-contamination is common.
To close this safety gap, Safe to Eat provides:
• Allergen-safe food items
• Clear ingredient labeling
• Education for shelter staff on food safety and allergy awareness
The organization serves a region roughly the size of Jamaica, supporting hundreds of children who are navigating both instability and medical vulnerability.
Safe to Eat’s mission:
Ensure that every child in crisis has access to food that is safe, nourishing, and free from hidden danger.
