Share My Meals is a Princeton, NJ-based nonprofit organization that fights both food insecurity and the environmental impact of food waste by recovering and delivering healthy meals to the local community. Working with its local partners, Share My Meals addresses both of these critical issues at once with a unique, tech-enabled model that recovers healthful, prepared meals, and delivers them directly to the homes of families in need.
Share My Meals collects balanced meals made from surplus prepared foods from food service providers and distributes them directly to the homes of families in need, leveraging volunteers and technical solutions to create a seamless, sustainable model.
Since 2020, we have delivered more than 120,000 healthy meals directly to the home of the 180 families enrolled in our program.
We are thankful for the amazing support of our partners: participating restaurants and food donors, community partners, our team of over 40 motivated volunteers, and numerous generous donors who have made it all possible.
Sharing & Caring are part of Share My Meals’ values and keys to success. We collaborate closely with our volunteers and local partner organizations to identify and reach different communities in need, offer home delivery, make sure families receive diverse types of food and enough food, and support and supplement partner organizations with donated meals.
Our partner organizations include: Princeton Elks, Princeton Mobile Food Pantry, Arm in Arm, Homefront, Cornerstone, Adventist.
