Home-y Made Meals is a 100% people-powered initiative adapted to the safety measures required during Covid-19. Within the safety and comfort of their homes, volunteers from all around Southern California prepare, deliver, and serve homemade meals every day. Partnering with shelters and coalitions, we have moved past merely existing as a project. We are a community—a network of networks—a family founded and bounded by food.
