Mission and programs · 2024
Primary exempt purpose
Alleviate food insecurity amongst elementary school children and promote healthy nutritional and lifestyle habits. Specifically, we distribute backpacks of shelf-stable, ready-to-eat food to elementary school children over the weekend period when they are out of school in cities such as, but not limited to, New York and Los Angeles. We purchase grocery items for distribution to disadvantaged parents of elementary school children served by the backpack program, and also provide nutritious restaurant meals to the schoolchildren, as a monthly community building activity. We identify communities of need and provide food to families with children in these areas.

Good Eats for Life was founded in 2017 to address food insecurity amongst elementary school children in Harlem. We provided backpacks of shelf-stable, easy-open nutritious food items every Friday to the most vulnerable students who only eat at school. When the backpacks are returned on Monday, they are refilled with meals for the next Friday distribution. We expanded the program to Los Angeles for the 2019-2020 school year with Hillcrest Drive Elementary. We worked with the Parent Center counselors to fill the weekly packs... and expanded with Thanksgiving meal groceries to parents at the holiday. During the pandemic, the need for backpacks went away because of remote schooling. We shifted our focus to providing groceries to students' families, along with warm restaurant meals purchased from BIPOC-owned restaurants to encourage students during Grab & Go stations set up on the sidewalk in front of the school. These monthly Community Day events provided students & teachers a chance to reconnect outside & socially distanced. Schools in south LA started to contact us requesting assistance, and we welcomed the invitations to serve. Post-pandemic, we've tailored our food services to each school, providing some with Community Day meals, others with monthly groceries, meals for holiday and culmination events, or meal programs to incentivize and reward perfect attendance. Over the last three years, we've grown our serves to 8 schools in LA, and two communities in NY.
