Donate a Meal

A fresh cooked meal makes a difference.

Updated May 2023

All residents are back at the shelter and we need donated meals! You will need to provide food for 60 residents, and please note the importance of our food safety guidelines. We are not a licensed kitchen, so meals cannot be prepared on-site.

We are looking for individuals or groups, to cook a meal off-site in a licensed community kitchen, or you may cook purchased retail foods onsite, but they must be unopened and labeled (e.g. Take and Bake Lasagna, retail meal items like Costco or Simek’s). We are not licensed to cook from scratch, so we rely heavily on donated food and groups to bring in meals. We can also have food from a restaurant brought in. Pizza Ranch in Andover will give a discount if you tell them it is for Stepping Stone. We also allow sandwiches to be prepared here if the group brings the “fixings”- it is totally up to you. We provide the plates, utensils, beverages, and clean up. **In the interest of respecting all our guests needs, we ask that you refrain from pork products of any kind.**
