Request a meal
We do food rescue and prevent perfectly good, quality ingredients from going to food waste and use them to create a healthy, nutrition-dense meal that we cook and distribute to the community. We use your individual donations to pay for staff salaries, kitchen space, purchase additional ingredients and packaging supplies that we need to make accessible meals for anyone in need, at no cost, no questions asked.
