Meals 4 Kids

The Meals 4 Kids program serves qualified children and families within the city of Portland experiencing food insecurity who are also experiencing any of the following:

Chronic condition or illness of caregiver or child
Lack of facility to prepare meals
Lack of ability and/or transportation to access food resources such as food pantries
Other barriers impacting access to food resources and/or the ability to prepare meals

The Meals 4 Kids home delivery program delivers nutritious meals, milk, bread, and fresh fruit directly to the homes of families in need each week on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.

We serve families who live within the city of Portland whose income level is 185% or lower of the federal poverty level.
The cost of each meal is funded by the Portland Children’s Levy.
Participants must be at home to receive meals.
Meals 4 Kids volunteers have received background checks and training prior to delivery.
