– Dailey Foods, a family-owned and operated plant-based food company based in San Luis Obispo, California, recently donated 5,500 Heavenly Chia meals to California food bank, North County Food Bank. The donation marks the beginning of their goal to facilitate the donation of 1,000,000 meals to Americans in need. Launched in 2019, the program facilitates the purchase of donation Heavenly Chia meals to food banks, shelters, and disaster zones. Anyone can donate meals via the website, HeavenlyChia.com/donate. The cost to donate a meal is just $1.46 and includes meal ingredients, packaging, and transport to the donation facility. Donation meals can be purchased in large quantities if desired.
“We are proud to be facilitating free, plant-based meals for those in need, as well as supporting organic farmers and sustainable, fair-trade growers in the process,” says founder, Chef Veronica Dailey. “We are passionate about connecting people in need with meals they will feel nourished by.”
Heavenly Chia mixes are 100% plant-based meaning they do not contain meat, eggs, dairy, fish, shellfish, honey or other similar ingredients. Dailey Foods is on a mission to help Americans incorporate plant-based meals into their diet for health, environmental, and compassionate reasons. The Heavenly Chia meal donation program is one method that Dailey Foods is facilitating this change. In addition to their meal donation program, Dailey Foods also provides plant-based cooking education classes for hospitals, government agencies, corporations, students and home cooks.
Why donate a meal?
Many people suffer from food insecurity in the USA. Most often, people in need rely on food banks for their weekly meals. Dailey Foods created the Heavenly Chia meal donation program to connect those in need with plant-based meals at food banks, disaster zones, and shelters.
