Through the Green Meals Project, we've provided numerous plant-based Breakfast Bags to those in need, donated over 11,577 pounds of food, and volunteered over 2,080 hours to both programs.
We're grateful for the support of local business owners and community members. Their generosity, kindness, commitment, and compassion improve our community.
"Being a volunteer means more than just helping others; it's also an opportunity to make new friends. Over the years, we've strengthened our friendships with others who share our passion for serving." - Angelina Schapiro.
Every week, our team aims to make a difference. Our Breakfast Program prepares and provides nutritional "Grab and Go Breakfast Bags" with uplifting messages to unhoused community members and working poor adults facing food insecurity.
Distribution takes place every Wednesday, from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. The meals are distributed through Trinity Center, a daytime shelter in Walnut Creek, California, providing safety net services for vulnerable people populations.
Our commitment is to provide this food at no cost, with no expectations or requirements for participation. Partnering with Trinity Center ensures direct access to those who benefit most from our program.
Food access is essential to community justice, and volunteering reminds us to keep an open mind and heart. Volunteering teaches lessons that aren't learned in books or movies; it gives back the unique opportunity to view life from the perspective of others!

It's human nature to help others. We believe in the power of giving time, recognizing that, even if money is tight, a couple of hours can make a meaningful impact. Ready to lend a helping hand?
"We are all in this together because everyone has a right to start the day with a healthy meal, and no one should go to bed hungry" - Angelina Schapiro.
