Who we are

Everyone deserves to eat. We know that’s a hot take right now, but we stand by it. We stand by it so much that we’ve put our money where our organizational mouth is and are fully committed to turning our hot take into hot plates for our communities.

Mutual Ground was founded on one simple concept: mutual aid doesn’t have to be hard, but it should be dignified. We’re working to anonymously connect families and individuals who are facing food insecurity with members of their own community who can commit to providing pre-selected ingredients for one home-cooked meal kit per week.

Shared meals organized through Mutual Ground are done so with compassion and mutual comfort at the forefront. All delivery requests are no questions asked and contactless. We believe people when they say they’re hungry, and we trust people to show up for their communities when they partner with us.

Whether you’re able to support our mission by sharing a meal with your neighbor, accepting a meal, or donating to support our cause, we’re happy you’re here.

[Let’s gather]

Get Involved

  • We’re asking anyone who can afford to purchase and deliver ingredients for one pre-selected meal kit per week to a member of their local community.

    Shopping lists are standardized and budgeted for approximately $20 per kit.

    We ask that Meal Sharers deliver this meal to your partnered family’s doorstep. Gratitude is implied, and we are seeking to feed families in the most dignified way possible. We adhere to a no-contact delivery rule for the comfort and safety of the sharing community member as well as the accepting community member.

    If you’re ready to impact your community and ensure no one goes hungry, click the “Share A Meal” button in the top right corner of this page! We can’t wait to be in community with you.

  • We’re happy you’re here.

    Mutual Ground is working to partner anyone impacted by food insecurity with a member of their local community who will be happy to bring them ingredients for a home-cooked meal once a week. Please toggle to the “Accept A Meal” form, located in the top menu bar of this page. We’ll get to know your dietary restrictions and how many plates you’d like, and then step in to do the rest.

    If we’re able to match you with a sharing neighbor, we’ll coordinate the delivery for you. All deliveries made through Mutual Ground are contactless, and they take place Monday-Wednesday eveneings. Our goal is for you to be fed and comfortable, and our Meal Sharers are here to help in a dignified way. There’s no shame in our game.

    Please note this is a growing organization. We cannot guarantee that a match exists in your local area. Please sign up for our newsletter by filling out a Contact Form at the bottom of your screen while you wait for a match, and remember to spread the word about Mutual Ground!
