Service Project Details

Healthy Family Meal Kits provide all the necessary ingredients for an easy, complete nutritious meal for children and families in need in our community. Each box includes enough ingredients to make 8 servings, as well as a recipe card.

How It Works:
The Family Meal Box program has two components: a food or fund drive followed by a volunteer activity.

Food/Fund Drive:
Each box needs to include all of the items for one recipe listed below for the box to be complete. Collecting items in bulk or asking several volunteers to purchase food in bulk after collecting monetary donations works very well for this drive.

Click here for recipes: Barbequed Chicken Burritos or 8 Can Chicken Chili

Volunteer Activity:
At the end of your food drive, coordinate with Harvesters to receive boxes, recipe cards, and “THIS BOX WAS PACKED BY…” cards. Then, your volunteers will spend 1-2 hours packing the individual boxes so they can be easily transported back to our facility for distribution.

Need community service hours? For every complete meal kit donated, you will receive 1 volunteer hour!*
