Our Meal Programs ensure that the 1,300+ unhoused families and individuals in our programs have access to healthy, fresh, and nutritious meals every single day.
Provide fresh and nutritious food to build a foundation for health and wellness.
At LifeMoves, we believe that a shared meal can be a powerful way to offer support. Sign up to provide a meal and make a difference! As a meal provider, you’ll purchase and or cater, prepare, and serve food for the entire site. Gather your friends, family, or team and join us in creating a warm and welcoming dining experience. Our Meals Program is a perfect opportunity for you and your star-filled team to make a visible impact.
“Preparing and serving meals” involves both the planning and hands-on work to provide nourishing food to our residents. This includes tasks such as:
- Meal Preparation: Washing, chopping, cooking, and assembling ingredients to create nutritious and well-balanced meals.
- Serving: Distributing meals to individuals in a communal setting, with the table arranged in an assembly line format for our residents.
