Millstone Meals

We are seeking community support to continue funding Millstone Meals in 2026. 

Since 2020, we have provided healthy, prepared meals to low-income families, at-risk individuals, and homebound seniors. Dishes are thoughtfully prepared, use local ingredients when possible, and are cooked from scratch at Millstone Kitchen by our staff, volunteers and small business partners. 

The Millstone Meals program provides an opportunity to work closely with other organizations who already distribute produce, non-perishables and grocery staples to their clients. Our unique contribution to this outreach is cooking high quality meals that feel homemade and special. Thanks to this collaboration, we have distributed 10,000 Millstone Meals in 2025 and over 100,000 since the program began. 

There are many reasons why cooking at home can be challenging or impossible. The benefits of receiving something delicious and already prepared, go beyond the calories to provide immediate comfort, no cooking required. We are lucky to have worked with a variety of local, state and federal grants to keep meals stocked. With grant funds becoming more scarce, we hope to continue our program by relying on our original funding source:  contributions from our local community. 

Your donation helps make a positive impact on the lives of our neighbors right here in the NRV. Everyone - regardless of age, ability, or income - deserves a fresh, nutritious, filling meal.
