Call Us For More InformationAbout Teamrealstackz Inc.
Founded with a passion for serving communities, Teamrealstackz Inc. is a family-owned venture owned by Leila Wilbon and Ellia Thomas dedicated to providing affordable and delicious meal options. Emerged from a shared vision to transform lives through the universal language of food. What began as emergency meal preparation during the pandemic has evolved into a mission-driven, culinary enterprise that combines exceptional catering services with workforce development and community feeding initiatives We believe in offering innovative solutions tailored to the unique challenges faced by our communities. Our commitment to excellent customer service drives us to positively impact every individual we serve, ensuring their needs are met with creativity and care.
Leila Wilbon and Ellia Thomas's passion for cooking was ignited in their grandmothers' kitchens where they learned that food is more than sustenance-it's love, culture, and community made manifest. Leila's grandmother Viney Wilbon, taught her that every dish tells a story,passing down recipes that carried the history and resilience of their family. Ellia's grandmother, Ellen Fumbanks, showed her how cooking could be an act of service, always ensuring there was enough food to share with neighbors and anyone in need.
These early lessons shaped our understanding that food has the power to preserve heritage, build bridges across differences, and create oppourtunities. Together, we founded Teamrealstackz Inc. to honor our grandmothers' legacy while addressing the challenges facing our Milwaukee community.
Our proudest achievement is establishing a restaurant that not only provides diverse culinary choices but also addresses food insecurity by offering affordable meals to those in need. Through our services, we aim to contribute to community growth, empowering individuals to overcome obstacles like homelessness and unemployment through tailored resources and support.

Our Services
Our business operates through three interconnected service lines that create a complete ecosystem of impact:
- Premium Catering Services: We provide exceptional food experiences for corporate events, private celebrations, and community gatherings, offering everything from elegant plated dinners to casual buffets for events ranging from 25 to 500 guests.
- Culinary Skills Training: Our comprehensive training program equips individuals facing employment barriers with professional kitchen skills, food safety certification, financial literacy, and job placement assistance. To date, we've trained 4 community members with an 83% job placement rate.
- Community Impact: Through our "Meals With Dignity" program, we deliver chef-prepared nutritious meals to those experiencing homelessness while providing practical training opportunities for program participants.
Our Impact
The numbers tell part of our story:
- 4 individuals trained in professional culinary skills
- 15 program graduates securing stable employment
- Over 500 emergency meals provided during crisis situations
- 100+ catering events served with excellence
But the true impact lies in the transformed lives, preserved cultural traditions, and strengthened community bonds that define our work every day.
Our Approach
What distinguishes Teamrealstackz Inc. is our integrated approach to social enterprise, rooted in the wisdom our grandmothers taught us: that food is a vehicle for love, culture, and community building. We don't separate our business operations from our community impact—they're intrinsically connected in a model where commercial success directly funds our social mission of our non-profit organization Yahuah's Grace and Protection Solutions Inc.
We've implemented innovative zero-waste practices, transforming potential food waste into assets. Vegetable scraps become rich stocks for our signature sauces, while other byproducts are composted for our urban farm partners—just as our grandmothers taught us never to waste what could nourish others.
Our Vision
We envision a Milwaukee where culinary traditions are preserved and celebrated as economic assets, where food businesses create pathways to financial independence for community members, and where everyone has access to nutritious, culturally-relevant meals. We're building on the foundation our grandmothers laid, creating opportunities for the next generation while honoring the recipes and wisdom they passed down to us.
Join us as we stack flavors and build futures, one plate at a time.
