​WHO WE SERVE

At-Risk Students: We provide nutritious meals for students; enriching their after-school and on-campus support programs, fueling both their bodies and minds, and contributing to a healthier home environment.
Families in Need: We add nutritious meals to the supportive programming of partner organizations serving at-risk families in our community.
Unhoused Community: We provide meals to individuals experiencing homelessness who face multifaceted difficulties such as lack of affordable housing, low wages, physical and mental health struggles, and the absence of both family and community safety nets. We distribute these meals in partnership with local nonprofits and ministries.
Medical Staff and Recovering Patients: We work with local clinics and healthcare organizations to send front line medical staff home with nutritious meals three times a week. Additionally, we send low-income patients and their families home with a free meal to support their healing process after medical procedures.
