People facing homelessness can often feel invisible, and interacting with them (when we could) and seeing them enjoy their meals fills our heart with joy. We believe that in uplifting others, we all rise.

Guidelines

  • Please follow the food safety guidelines from Public Health, Seattle & King County
  • Cooking a meal
    • The meal must be prepared on the day of donation or the day prior
    • Please prepare a complete meal (main and side dish) for the number of women selected to ensure they all receive a full meal
  • Meals must be ready-to-serve and ready-to-eat. Please bring the meal in disposable containers (aluminum trays are a good option). It is not necessary to bring plates, bowls, cutlery, or other serving essentials
  • If you’re looking for a commercial kitchen to prepare meals, consider using space at a local church or community center
  • Restaurant meals: you may, if you wish, purchase and deliver a complete meal from a restaurant or purchase and arrange to have the restaurant deliver the meal to the shelter.
