Donate a Meal for Shelter Residents
Sharing food is a powerful act of community. Thanks for stepping up for our community.
Our Just Future operates three emergency shelters for people experiencing homelessness: one for families with children and two for adults who identify as women, nonbinary or genderqueer. All three shelters depend on volunteers to donate and prepare and meals. Our shelters have different numbers of residents: 40, 60 and 130, so you can decide how many meals is right for you.
Several Ways to Help with Food
Make and Deliver Sack Lunches
Making sack lunches provides meals that are easy to distribute. They’re also a great service project for students!
Cook a Dish for Drop-Off Potlucks
At each of our potlucks, the community comes together with an array of options. Each shelter hosts potlucks at varying times throughout the week. Plan to prepare and deliver a dish (not a full meal) for about 20 people.
Cook and Deliver a Dinner
If you’d like to cook an entire meal to feed 40, 60 or 120 people, we’d love to help make it happen. Contact us to get started.
Sponsor a Shelter Dinner for Delivery
Participating in our shelter dinner sponsorship program is a great way to support your favorite local restaurant while also providing nourishing meals to shelter residents! We can help with amounts and popular foods.
Anyone preparing food should follow guidelines for safe food preparation.
