Fundraising Update:
We are proud to share that Family Meal Sacramento provided over 100,000 meals to Sacramento residents in need since March of 2020. While we had hoped that our services were only going to be a short term solution during the height of the pandemic, we realized that our services are still desperately needed.
With the pandemic still ravaging our community, we are going to continue to be of service for as long as we are needed and as long as the funding is there. That is where you come in. We need your help. Every donation helps families who are food insecure while also supporting local restaurants.
What is Family Meal?
Family Meal is a chef-driven initiative to mobilize restaurants as micro-commissaries to create meals for people in need.
Your contribution not only feeds people in need but also benefits everyone in the food service supply chain. Restaurants utilize the donation to keep staff on payroll and order supplies from local farmers and purveyors in the "farm to fork" capital of the world.
Please donate and share!

Goals:
Feed Vulnerable People and Families
At-risk members of our community need food. Low-income families, their children, and the elderly may not have access to nutritious meals due to this public health crisis.
Support Small Businesses and Keep People Employed
The restaurant industry has come screeching to a halt. Skilled laborers are ready and willing to serve the community. This project utilizes the hospitality industry workforce to produce meals for families in need.
Financially Support Farmers and Purveyors
Farmers and purveyors are also hurting due to sudden mass closure of restaurants in the region. This project pays our purveyors for products and utilizes perishable inventory that otherwise may have gone to waste.
Scale the Project to Support more Restaurants and more People
The founding restaurants have been working day and night on logistics such as procurement, packaging, processing, distribution, and building coalitions for funding, activation, and deployment. Once this model is proven successful, if the funding is available, this project can scale to include more restaurants and help more people in need!
