Last Saturday, our Free Meals On Wheels kitchen caught fire in the middle of the night and was completely destroyed. This had been our home for the last four years, where we prepared over 200,000 meals, grew from 5 to 500 volunteers, and created countless memories. We lost everything that the organization owned in this fire. Our team at Free Meals On Wheels was devastated, but we have promised our volunteers that we will find a new home very soon and resume our great work.
For me, these are the situations that make us stronger, not weaker. I see this tragedy as a huge opportunity to restart and continue to focus on our long-term goals. I am extremely grateful to our volunteers, donors, and everyone who has reached out to show their support.
We are actively looking for a new place to start cooking again soon and have shortlisted a few locations. Since we have to start from scratch, we will need roughly $150,000 in startup expenses to cover the purchase of new equipment, inventory, rental costs, and operational costs. At the request of our donors and volunteers, we have created a GoFundMe campaign to help raise these funds in next few weeks.
