❤️ HELP US KEEP THE MEALS COMING ❤️

For the past two and a half years, Meals That Matter has been incredibly fortunate to receive support from individuals, businesses, organizations, and community partners. Because of that generosity, we are now able to serve approximately 70 neighbors each week.

As the number of people we serve and the cost of providing these meals continue to grow, we are reaching out to invite more members of our community to become part of this work.

Approximately $15 helps provide one neighbor with a complete Sunday delivery, including two comforting, nutritious meals, a salad, two desserts, and a caring check-in.

❤️ $75 sponsors 5 neighbors
❤️ $150 sponsors 10 neighbors
❤️ $375 sponsors 25 neighbors
❤️ $1,050 helps sponsor a full Sunday for approximately 70 neighbors

Donations of any amount are always appreciated.

We would especially love to connect with local businesses interested in financially supporting our work. If your employer offers charitable giving, matching gifts, community sponsorships, or nonprofit grants, please consider recommending Meals That Matter.

You can also help by sharing this post or connecting us with someone who may be interested in supporting our mission.

Thank you for helping Meals That Matter continue bridging the gap through comfort and care❤️

🍰 Calling All Bakers — Looking Ahead to September! 🍪

I can’t believe we’re already talking about September, but here we are! We have a few open spots on our baker schedule for the month ahead.

If your summer is starting to wind down and you have a little time to bake, we’d love to have your help. Our recipients always look forward to their weekly treats, whether it’s a homemade dessert or a fresh fruit salad — whatever you enjoy making!

Your time, kindness, and generosity are always so greatly appreciated. ❤️

If you’d like to grab a September spot, please reach out or sign up through TeamReach. Thank you for helping us add a little something sweet to our Sunday deliveries!

❤️ A WEEK FILLED WITH GRATITUDE ❤️

This week, Meals That Matter served 68 neighbors , our biggest week yet. That meant 204 meal portions, 136 desserts, 68 fresh salads, fresh fruit and produce, 6 backpacks, and 45 caring check-ins all made possible by an incredible community of people who continue to show up for our mission.

This week, more than anything, I simply want to say THANK YOU.

🥗 Bushel 'N Peck - Grafton, I don’t know if I can adequately express how grateful I am for your continued generosity. You have grown right alongside us, and this week that meant providing 68 fresh salads for our neighbors. Thank you for believing in what we do and for continuing to be such an important part of our mission. ❤️

🎒 Lifesong Church Sutton thank you for lovingly filling and generously donating six backpacks for children in our recipient families as they prepare for the new school year. A beautiful reminder of what it means to truly love and care for our neighbors. ❤️

🥕 Houlden Farm and Bergin Flanagan, thank you for your generous donations of fresh produce that helped us prepare this week’s meals.

🧁 Amy Berenson — thank you for baking this week and helping make our deliveries a little sweeter.

❤️Andrea, thank you for coming over, jumping right in, and helping me pack everything and get ready to for our drivers to head out the door. I am so grateful for you.

🚗 And to our wonderful delivery drivers , Annette, Alison, Jeannie & Mario, and Jill . Thank you for making that final connection with our neighbors. The meal is important, but so is the friendly face at the door and I know how much our recipients enjoy their visits from you.

This week also brought an incredibly special moment for Meals That Matter.

A heartfelt thank you to Country Bank and the WooSox Foundation for recognizing Meals That Matter and generously presenting us with a $5,000 grant to help us continue our mission. To have the work being done in our community recognized and supported in this way means more than I can say. We are incredibly grateful. ❤️

Every meal prepared, every salad donated, every backpack filled, every dessert baked, every mile driven, every piece of produce shared, every check-in, and every dollar donated plays a part in what we are able to do.

68 neighbors. Our biggest week yet.

And none of it happens alone. It truly takes a village, and I am incredibly grateful for ours. ❤️

Thank you for continuing to support Meals That Matter and our mission of Bridging the Gap Through Comfort and Care.
