H.O.P.E. of Winston-Salem (Help Our People Eat)

http://www.hopews.org

H.O.P.E. is a community-wide effort to use the resources of individuals and groups to assemble and distribute healthy meals to children at risk of hunger in their own neighborhoods on Sundays when few other sources of food are available. We use a large green truck with a sound system like an ice cream truck to deliver meals plus collected produce to sites in food deserts where children are hungry and families don't have access to fresh produce. The children sit and eat and enjoy time with volunteers. It's a fun, positive experience where relationships are built and classes requested by the families help empower families to live healthy lives.
