WHO WE ARE
Home-y Made Meals is a collaboration of Eayikes & Polo's Pantry — two Southern California based organizations united by a belief that food is how we show up for each other.
We are a community, a network of networks, built on the idea that our unhoused and low-income neighbors deserve the warmth of a homemade meal. Beyond lunches, we fight for systemic change for housing justice, food access, and the rights of our most vulnerable neighbors
We practice relational work in food justice, prioritizing accessibility and adaptability to protect the ones we serve and the ones serving.

THREE ROLES. ONE MOVEMENT.
HOW IT WORKS

Cook from the comfort of your own kitchen. Set your own schedule, choose your recipes, and prepare meals with love for our neighbors in need.
🚗02 DRIVE
Pick up meals from our volunteer chefs and deliver them to shelters, coalitions, and outreach partners across Southern California.
📣 03 DISTRIBUTE
Our coalition partners (shelters, mutual aid groups, and outreach organizations) receive the meals and get them directly into the hands of our unhoused neighbors.
