Our Mission & Vision

Feeding Families Foundation has a revolutionary approach that leverages community, art, culture & strategic partnerships to eliminate hospital food insecurity. Together, we cover the cost of food for caregivers and pediatric patients who are admitted in the hospital.

Artist Michael Pollack helped us grow from a grassroots effort in New Haven into a national movement—connecting industries & cultural moments.

Starting with Modern Apizza, we brought dozens of community restaurants directly to hospital families in their hardest moments.

New Haven Pizza Club

The Problem & Our Solution

When a child is admitted to the hospital, the hospital provides meals for the patient as part of the stay. But did you know that the parent/caregiver staying with the child is not provided food unless they purchase it?

Restaurant-Driven Pipeline

Feeding Families partners with local restaurants to prepare and deliver meals weekly, creating a self-sustaining model that supports both families and the small businesses that serve them.

How to Get Your Meal

Feeding Families Foundation’s goal is to alleviate some of the financial strain placed on parents when their child is admitted. We work closely with children’s hospitals to identify rooms occupied by pediatric patients to receive your free companion meal.
