Denise Cintron
Founder | Guide | Heart of the Mission
Denise Cintron founded Cibus Mission in January 2021 after experiencing a profound moment of understanding the power of Cibus — sustenance in all its forms. What began as giving from her garden became a movement to ensure that every person in the community has access to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual nourishment.
Through Denise's guidance, Cibus Mission offers monthly meals, emergency assistance for veteran families, and blessing box donations throughout the area. The organization has launched youth-centered programs including an Urban Farm and a Bike Repair initiative, and provides online ordination and state-approved credentials for those who wish to become wedding or funeral officiants.
Denise is thankful for the many donors, volunteers, and sponsors who make this work possible. She believes that empowerment is the catalyst for positive change and invites others to join the growing movement behind Cibus Mission.
