Funding Operations

Funding Operations

Unlike most non-profit meal services that rely heavily on grants and external funds to operate, we raise funds by offering daily meals and catering and cooking events.

This along with donations and community support keep our day-to-day operations going plus allow us to provide fresh, nutritious meals to shelters and home-bound seniors, which is the core of our mission—spreading love through food.
