Launched in the spring of 2016 and formerly known as our Family Meals program, Heat-n-Eats re-purposes prepared foods into single-serving meals for people with limited access to kitchens. Created from prepared food rescued from local university, corporate, and hospital dining halls, each heat-and-eat meal is a balanced, tasty individual meal for one. Every meal includes a serving of vegetables, protein, and grain or starch.

Heat-n-Eats staff and volunteers turn this food into single-serving meals for:

• Students struggling with hunger while trying to learn
• Families sheltered in hotels, without access to kitchens
• Families, with young children, that are struggling to put dinner on the table
• Other populations that face barriers to cooking for themselves

Our Heat-n-Eats food preparation kitchen is located on the Biogen Campus in Kendall Square in Cambridge. We are immensely grateful to Biogen and the Biogen Foundation for the donation of our new kitchen space which was built and is used exclusively for our Heat-n-Eats program. If you would like to donate prepared food please take a look at our “Donate Food” page.
