About Us.

Founder, Metta Archilla-Ishida alongside Nacy Vieira decided over 4 years ago that when they launched a local to Cypress foodie Group, it was going to be and mean so much more than just another food-centric group. It was going to be a group with a humanitarian focus. Metta’s Local Eats & Community Outreach is the parent umbrella to the MLE Dine Out for Charity program, MLE Care Team, and Metta’s Local Eats (the food Group).

Our passion is supporting local Mom and Pops and building up our core foundation one Dine Out for Charity at a time. And that’s exactly what we did. Metta’s Local Eats combines all the good things about Food and Fellowship (our mantra) and married with a charitable purpose so that local 501(c) entities can do more, save more, help more than ever before. 100% of all program participation goes directly to the non-profit organization beneficiary.

This Foundation is built on the backs of a Committee of strong, like-minded, and Community centric driven individuals and we are growing annually. My endearing and forever thanks to:
