Kitchen Coalition

Kitchen Coalition is an initiative of Second Harvest Heartland, harnessing the power of the food bank to bring nutritious, prepared meals to communities facing the biggest meal gap. We know that not everyone facing hunger has the home, health, or ability to use the groceries our food bank offers. So, we’ve built a network of local restaurants and caterers who turn food bank ingredients into nutritious, freshly prepared meals. Then, trusted nonprofits get those meals to neighbors on a predictable schedule.
