SONOMA FAMILY MEAL (SFM) is committed to strengthening our local food economy and nourishing our community in times of crisis and stability. At our community kitchen, we convert locally sourced ingredients and rescued perishables into meals for families and seniors experiencing food insecurity, while providing culinary career training and food-business support. During disasters, we proactively coordinate resources to provide quality emergency meals for those who have been impacted.

This year, Sonoma Family Meal launched our fi rst culinary job training program, training over 16 individuals facing barriers to employment.

Upon graduation, SFM connected students to fair-wage jobs with food industry partners.

Sonoma Family Meal relies on volunteers to continue our mission of supporting the community. SFM volunteers help to prepare, pack, and deliver weekly meals and assist with disaster relief. It is a wonderful way to support the community and connect with others.
