How it works

The premise of the program is simple. Hire restaurants to produce “meal boxes” for families in need.

Meal Kits

Each meal kit contains enough food to provide a family with 4 nutritious restaurant-quality meals utilizing product from local purveyors. If you are a school, or community based organization that is interested in our support, please email info@familymealsacramento.com.

Costs

While the meal kit is free to the recipient, the restaurant is reimbursed $42 for every meal kit produced. This allows restaurants to pay their staff, packaging, and purchase from local vendors to keep the supply chain moving.

Results

To date, Family Meal Sacramento has provided over 500,000 meals to families in need across the Sacramento region. Our contributions have come from private, public, and corporate support.

Sponsors

FamilyMeal Sacramento meal kits are made possible by public agencies, private donations, and the participating restaurant owners.  We are grateful to our sponsors, which include the organizations that help get meal kits to those in need. This is partial list, as some donors wish to remain anonymous.
