Every day, with the help of dedicated volunteers, we prepare up to 5,000 healthy meals for our community. We partner with local farmers and food recovery allies to provide nutritious, scratch-cooked meals with care. The majority of our meals are loaded on to our fleet of more than 20 trucks and delivered to shelters, nonprofits, and youth programs. We also provide home-delivered meals to seniors and veterans, stock dozens of school-based food pantries, and supply nutritious groceries to several front-line partners.
