Our Food
Every Meal is committed to using only GOOD FOOD – nutritious, delicious, and relevant – that retains the dignity of our children and families.
Weekend Program
Our Weekend Food Program is the core of our organization. It is our response to a need we hear frequently from Principals and school staff: “My students don’t have food on the weekends, can you help?”
Summer Programs
While our primary mission is to fill the weekend food gap during the school year, we certainly recognize hunger is a year-round issue. We work to serve children in the summer in a few ways.
Winter Program
Every Meal also works to expand access to food for our community over the winter break. Typically available from December through January, children and families can pick up Every Meal bags from several Minneapolis Parks, all YMCA Twin Cities branches, and additional locations.
Community Meal Distribution Sites
Through our network of community partners, Every Meal works hard to ensure children and families experiencing food insecurity have access to food that is nutritious, delicious, and relevant. From April – August, children, and families can pick up Every Meal bags from all YMCA Twin Cities branches and additional locations.
Where We Work
We work right here in Minnesota throughout the Twin Cities and beyond. We aren’t restricted to certain school districts and work in urban, suburban, and rural communities.
