We're about people, and people need nourishment to be able to address the challenges that they're facing. The ability to have the partnership that we have with Second Harvest lets us do the work of helping people get back on their feet.
We at The Mustard Seed accommodate anywhere from 50-150 guests, 3 meals a day using these products. All of the food donations that we receive [from Second Harvest] are put directly into meals and sometimes used to bake treats for the guests. The Mustard Seed feeds and provides for community members facing homelessness and poverty. One guest in particular is always complimenting the variety and taste of our food
Second Harvest has been essential in connecting us to local grocery stores. These grocery stores have allowed us to include bread and baked goods as well as some non-perishable items consistently to the people and families in need that we serve. We are very grateful for this program.
