Meal With Message

03/19/2026

This year feels different for us. 🌙
For the past three years, Meal with Message has been built on coming together — sharing meals, writing messages, and showing up for our homeless community in a big, hands-on way. It’s something that means a lot to us.
This year, due to some challenges behind the scenes, we won’t be able to carry out the initiative in the same way we have before. That hasn’t been easy to accept.
But the mission doesn’t stop.
Instead, we will continue to give in a different way — by donating meals and essential items to support those in need. It may look different, but the intention remains the same: to serve with compassion and care.
We’re grateful for everyone who has supported us over the years and believed in what this initiative stands for. Your support has never gone unnoticed.
Eid Mubarak — may this month remind us that even small acts of kindness carry deep impact.

Today marks the first day of Ramadan — a time of reflection, gratitude, and giving. 🌙

Through our initiative, **Meal with Message**, we continue our mission to serve and support the homeless community with meals, care packages, and encouragement. Each year, this effort grows because of people who choose to give and get involved.

We are now looking for **sponsors and individual donors** for this year’s outreach. If you or your business want to make a direct impact, we welcome your support and partnership.

Special thanks to last year’s sponsors and supporters who made it possible — including
Zeus & Agave Mexican Grill and Cantina
Wild Cat Foundation
Serenity MedAesthetics
Beacon Community Connections
Babineaux Family Dental
Central Park Pavers,

and the many generous **individual donors** who contributed and believed in the mission.

Ramadan Mubarak — let’s turn compassion into action this season.

Meal with Message 2025 was a Success!

What an incredible day! Thanks to our amazing volunteers and generous sponsors, we were able to serve 150 meals and snacks and distribute 80 sleeping bags to those in need.

This event was extra special as it fell on Eid, a day of giving and gratitude. Seeing the smiles and hearing the heartfelt thanks from our homeless community reminded us why we do this every year.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this happen—whether you donated, wrote messages of encouragement, packed meals, or helped distribute supplies. Your kindness makes a real difference.

Let’s continue to spread hope and support those who need it most. Until next year!

Eid is a time of gratitude, compassion, and giving back—and what better way to celebrate than by sharing meals, care packages, and kindness with our homeless community? This is what Meal with Message is all about: spreading hope, one meal and one message at a time.

A huge thank you to our volunteers and sponsors for making this possible. Let’s make today meaningful together!
