Our February Seedlings recipient is Every Meal. Round up your purchases all month long to support their work.

Every Meal’s mission is to fight child hunger through community and school partnerships. Every Meal’s singular focus is their Weekend Food Program. This program consists of providing children with a 4-5 pound bag of nutritious food each Friday, eliminating the food gap when students aren't in school to access meal program. They may choose from five bag options that are structured around the USDA MyPlate standards. All bags types contain non-perishable food including a variety of fruits, vegetables, proteins, grains, and soups/entrees. Providing children with wholesome food is their focus, and children’s growth and achievement is at the heart of everything they do.

The Weekend Food Program is unique in that the type of food that provides the greatest level of support to our children and families is healthy, nutritious, and substantive food (as opposed to single-serve, pre-packaged snack food items). Families served by the program are nourished in a robust and culturally-appropriate way. Every Meal believes that food insecurity is not a supply problem, but a distribution problem. The entire program is dedicated to getting food to where it is needed most: in the bellies of hungry children.
