Grantee Stories
Lovin Spoonfuls
With a $100,000 grant from The ReFED Catalytic Grant Fund, Lovin’ Spoonfuls was able to develop a partnership with Commonwealth Kitchen and piloted a program that offers customizable meal kit and prepared meal programs to its end recipients, many of which need support in preparing meals for their families. As a result of this pilot, not only was Lovin’ Spoonfuls able to meet the needs of its end recipients, but they were also able to ensure total consumption of the food that was donated. Due to the success of the initiative, Lovin’ Spoonfuls received additional funding from a family foundation to make it a permanent part of their overall services.
