Healing Meals Community Project nourishes with love. We believe that food is medicine, so we prepare and deliver nutritious meals that support healing for people recovering from acute health issues.
The Healing Meals kitchen brings together youth and adult volunteers in a welcoming place where cross-generational creativity and respect form the foundation of our culture. With a balance of these ‘old-fashioned’ community values and recognition of the relationship between nutrition and healing, HMCP supports families facing a health crisis with healthy, organic meals.
Our mission also calls us to foster compassion and empower youth. We bring teen volunteers into the kitchen to learn how to prepare food and into our gardens to experience the farm-to-table journey. Youth experience connection with others as they create hand-written messages of care for our clients.
The Eversource Hartford Marathon is our largest fundraiser of the year and we would love to have you join our team! With your support you can help our Love Guided Team raise $100,000, which will allow us to serve 8,000 meals, support healthcare workers with nourishing food as they fight the COVID-19 pandemic, increase the number of youth we empower and expand our education program to help our community take control of their health to prevent disease.
Please help more families receive the love and nutrition Healing Meals can provide.
