  • Mission

    We deliver food to seniors and others who are food insecure during the pandemic.

    About Us

    We were started on the first day of the Shelter-in-Place order in 2020, in order to bring food to those who were self-isolating. In time, we broadened our goals to serving all of those who are food insecure during the pandemic. We have had drivers on the road every single day since March 27, 2020. We are now more than 350 volunteers and 150 drivers. We made over 20,000 deliveries in 2020. We are now delivering more than 2,500 free meals per week. The people we serve are our neighbors: they are often desperate and without any other recourse. They are often seniors, with disabilities, and/or from an ethnic group that is not well served by the community. Help us help them!
