WHAT WE DOHMM is a 100% people-powered initiative adapted to the safety measures required during Covid-19. Within the safety and comfort of their homes, volunteers from all around Southern California prepare, deliver, and serve homemade meals every day. Partnering with shelters and coalitions, we have moved past merely existing as a project. We are a community— a network of networks— a family founded and bounded by food.
WHY— OUR MISSIONBy serving homemade meals to low-income communities every day, Home-y Made Meals seizes the power of food to nourish our unhoused neighbors, move people towards action, and synthesize tangible solutions supplanting segregation. We practice relational work in food justice, prioritizing accessibility and adaptability to protect the ones we serve and the ones serving.

CHEFS:The safest created meal would include all pre-packaged goods, like pre-made sandwiches from a store or items like Lunchables. The next safest would be using foods that don't perish quickly. Safety guidelines will be provided for those who choose this option.
DRIVERS:Drivers will be mostly responsible for helping pick-up/drop-off meals to and from volunteers' homes to service site (Los Angeles & Orange County locations). Drivers will not be asked to physically serve items to people. Safety guidelines will be provided for those who choose this option.
DONORS:100% of all donations will go directly providing support to low-income families and unhoused neighbors during this pandemic. All monetary donations can be made here:
