Our Mission & Vision

Feeding Families Foundation helps to eliminate hospital food insecurity by covering the cost of food for caregivers of pediatric patients who are admitted in the hospital.

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?

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.
