In the past year, mothers, volunteers, and staff in our sites cooked and served an astounding 3.8 million meals.

Each one of those almost four million meals were attentively prepared, nutritionally balanced, and of course, cooked with a dash of love. 

Each one was also urgently needed. Food insecurity, and even famine, is a constant and growing challenge in our sponsor sites all over the world. Crop failure, inflation, unemployment, and conflict are pushing more families into daily hunger.

Right now, Chalice is supporting 28 nutrition programs across the globe. Each community program looks a little different, because each community is different. There are school lunch programs, community dining halls, and food hamper deliveries. Interwoven with the meals, there are cooking classes, nutrition education, check-ups, medication, prayer, and fun!

To support these dynamic diners, Chalice is introducing Ladles & Love, a monthly giving program. For $20/month, you will support a hungry child or elder. Your gift will not be tied to a specific diner but will support one of the 28 programs in food costs. 

When you sign up, we shall dub you a Lunch Buddy. Lunch Buddies will receive four exclusive e-mails from us every year. These ‘kitchen party’ emails will contain everything a good ol’ kitchen party should: stories, songs, recipes, and good times. Lunch Buddies will also receive our annual nutrition impact report news flyer, showing you the smiling faces and successes of your buddies in the sites.

Become a Lunch Buddy today and ladle up some love for someone in need.
