Holiday Meal Box Program / Since 2020

Nourishment.
Dignity.
Belonging.

A full table. A moment to breathe.

Every family deserves to feel supported, seen, and cared for. Our Holiday Meal Box Program brings prepared holiday meals to families with dignity and care.

Care for the whole family

A tradition
of showing up.

Our Chicago program began in December 2020. We purchase prepared holiday meals and coordinate hand-delivery through partner schools and directly to homes. The Fresh Market’s Lake Forest team has helped us sustain that tradition.

Two ways to make a difference

One table helps
fill another.

01 / Give a meal

Care for a family.

Help fund prepared holiday meals and delivery to families. Give on your own or bring your workplace together.

Give to meal boxes

02 / Gather with purpose

An evening that gives back.
