Meals that Matter, formerly known as Feed the House, is a meaningful way to bring people together, whether you’re a corporate team, school group, church or civic organization, or simply gathering with friends and family to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or other special occasion. Each participating group makes a tax-deductible contribution that supports families and the ongoing success of the program.

We’re excited to welcome your group soon! Please take a moment to complete our Group Volunteer Application so we can learn more about your interests and how you’d like to get involved.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to our Community and Volunteer Engagement Manager, Hannah Morgan, at [email protected].
