What We Do

01 Emergency-based Food Security

Family Meal led a grassroots effort during the pandemic to address urgent food security challenges for initiatives like the statewide Great Plates and Sacramento-based COLAB refined emergency meal production processes and procedures while fostering a network of community-based restaurant partners ready for future food security crises.

02 Community-based food security

Family Meal works with Sacramento County resources, community-based organizations, health systems, and food lockers in high-need areas, addressing food insecurity while providing nutritious and culturally relevant meals.

03 POPulation-based food security

Family Meal focuses on improving outcomes for high-need populations through available state and federal food and nutrition-related funding resources. We aim to develop scalable and sustainable opportunities for our partnerships to own a focused and important space within the broad food insecurity challenge.

How We Do It

Family Meal has evolved from our meet-the-moment need during the pandemic, we created a replicable, scalable resource with teachable toolkits for municipalities, health systems, PBIDs, and chambers to bridge restaurants to communities that power economic development.

You can bring the Family Meal Model to your community. Reach out to learn how to build, support, and sustain a program in your region.
