THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!


That's a wrap! We've officially raised 240% of our funding goal thanks to your generous contributions. Our first batch of Outreach meals has already been distributed to those affected by the war in Ukraine, and we are currently coordinating a second shipment to send to Tanzania. This impact wouldn't have been possible without all of you. Once again, thank you!


Our #1 priority is now getting all of our orders fulfilled as quickly as we can. We expect to recieve the funds from Kickstarter sometime this week, at which point we can begin ordering ingredients, packaging, and merchandise. As you have probably heard, the supply chain has been pretty volatile in the past year. We set our fulfillment date to September in order to create a buffer for any unanticipated delays. However, we already have most of our suppliers lined up and are optomistic that we can get every order delivered before September. Thank you in advance for your patience!


Once we get closer to the delivery date, we will send out the backer survey to collect mailing addresses. In the meantime, please confirm that your credit card information is up-to-date in your Kickstarter account.


We worked with some amazing partners to make this campaign possible. While this campaign may have wrapped up, our work to achieve Zero Waste and Zero Hunger by 2050 certainly has not. If you would like to provide additional support directly to those facing food insecurity in Ukraine, Tanzania, and more, please consider learning more about our friends at the Outreach Program!


Thanks again for all your support!

🇺🇦 10,000 Meals Sent to Ukrainians! 🇺🇦
almost 3 years ago – Fri, May 06, 2022 at 12:08:19 PM

Your Pledge is Already Helping Ukrainian Refugees!

With the help of more than 75 volunteers from the San Diego community, we spent last Friday packing 10,000 meals to send to those displaced by the war in Ukraine!


5,000 of those meals were provided by you, our Kickstarter backers! The other 5,000 were donated by the University of San Diego community. With the help of The Outreach Program and Convoy of Hope, all 10,000 meals were shipped to refugee centers in and around Ukraine and will be distributed directly to families affected by the war.


A huge thank you goes out to each and every backer who helped make this impact possible. Next up, Tanzania!


Happy Friday,

Austin + Greg
