SPOON

We nourish children who are vulnerable to malnutrition by empowering their caregivers worldwide. SPOON was co-founded by Cindy Kaplan and Mishelle Rudzinski.

Both adoptive mothers of kids born in Kazakhstan, Cindy and Mishelle founded SPOON with the purpose to help kids, like their children, get off to a better start, and position them as well as possible for placement with a family and a healthy future. SPOON's mission is to transform nutrition and feeding for children living without families and those with disabilities.
