JULY DATES NOW AVAILABLE! SEE SUGGESTED MENU ITEMS BELOW
Many thanks to everyone who is signing up to support Grassroots with delicious dinner meals on a one-time and regular basis. We greatly appreciate your help in serving our community members in need as we continue to navigate these changing times. Thank you for your thoughtfulness, time and generosity!
*****
Grassroots provides three meals daily for up to 50 shelter residents in our on-site commercial kitchen. We rely heavily on community support to feed our residents.
Our greatest need right now is for dinner meals.
You can help by preparing a fully cooked meal or entrée to serve about 50 people. Meals can be prepared with your own ingredients or purchased. For example, rotisserie chickens are helpful to have on hand (we would need 12 to make a meal).
If frozen, you may deliver your meal in advance of your chosen date.
If you would like to support a local restaurant through carryout or delivery to Grassroots here is a link to a list of local restaurants, the cost can range from $150-$500:

We will also accept donations to purchase meals. A dinner meal that we prepare cost approximately $150. Donations can be made online at: http://grassroots.hocomojo.org/donate/
