Every Meal

ORGANIZATION SUMMARY

Every Meal exists to fight child hunger through community and school partnerships. Through our network of community partners, we work hard to get food to kids who live in food insecurity, which means they don’t always know where their next meal is coming from. Every Meal strives to make a difference in children’s lives by specifically focusing on food “gaps” - the times when the children aren’t at school to access the meal programs. We have had tremendous growth, going from serving one school to over 400 school and community partners, but there are still 300,000 kids in Minnesota who don’t have enough to eat.

MISSION:

Fight child hunger through community and school partnerships.

VISION:

Every child. Every meal. ™

VALUES:

Commitment - Ambition and drive are fundamental aspects of our mission and program, and we must employ them every day. We recognize that mere adequacy does not align with our mission. To be a dynamic team, we need versatility and a commitment to getting the job done.

Thoughtful Communication - We use thoughtful communication in all our interactions by being timely, informed, purposeful and on-brand.

Positive Impact - Our actions deliver a positive impact on children and the community through measurable results, continuous improvement, and lasting impressions. Our decisions are focused on the goal of filling food gaps for children living in food insecurity. We always strive for program growth to provide more meals to more children through community engagement, innovation, infrastructure (systems, processes and people) and informed decisions.

Relationships - Relationships provide a cornerstone to our continued success. At both an internal and external level, the preservation and growth of these connections are paramount to our mission.
