Food Support and Assistance
OUR MISSION
Meals in the Meantime is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing food support and assistance. Our mission is filling the food gap in Chicagoland south suburbs with nourishment and dignity. We help seniors, single women and men, families, young adults, and children.
OUR PANTRIES
We provide grocery bags of food at drive-thru, pop-up food pantries by partnering with local townships, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations. We help people who need food directly in neighborhoods where they live. The core of our work is putting fresh, healthy, and high-quality food directly in the hands of people in need.
Our Impact
We are intentional about the food we give at our pop-up food pantries. Our grocery bags contain a variety of food items across five major food groups. Take a look at the amount of food we have given at our pantries:
- Fruits - 29,932 pounds
- Vegetables - 21,688 pounds
- Grains - 5,620 pounds
- Proteins - 6,394 pounds
- Dairy - 10,467 pounds
That's 37 tons of fresh, healthy, high-quality food! The food items we select are natural sources of vitamins and nutrients our bodies need for well-being. We fill the food gap with nourishment, dignity, and food that promotes healthy living.
Food with no judgement
We have no bias or stereotypes about people experiencing food scarcity. Food insecurity is a condition, not a condemnation. We are changing the condition with Meals in the Meantime.
