Why It Matters

When you prepare heat-and-eat meals for neighbors experiencing food insecurity, you're providing convenient, nutritious food to families who need it most. When money is tight and days are exhausting, having something warm, filling, and nutritious ready to go means one less burden and the comfort of knowing someone cares.

When It Happens

Episodically, when funding is available.
