How you help

We provide free chef-prepared meals to local nonprofits serving those in need.
About us

In the wake of the pandemic, a small team of furloughed culinary professionals came together to volunteer as emergency support for local pantries. Responding to increasing need; the team expanded, gained funding and evolved with tremendous community support. Today, Miami Valley Meals is a chef-led effort to recover and transform donated food into prepared meals for distribution through nonprofits serving the hungry, free of charge.Our innovative “recover and transform” model allows our chefs to intercept food that may otherwise be wasted and redistribute it to those in need by transforming ingredients into hearty, delicious meals. By utilizing existing organizations as distribution points, we are able to impact multiple communities simultaneously. Our meals fill a gap in local pantries by providing additional options for those who may not have the time or resources to cook full meals. MVM meals free up resources for the nonprofits to connect individuals to other wrap around services.
