Our mission

Nobody should heal hungry.

Good food is part of recovery. MealKind exists to bring food security, nourishing meals and simple nutrition know-how to people going through treatment and recovery, whether or not they have family and friends around them.

Why it matters

23 vs 15hospital readmissions within 30 days, per 100 stays, for patients with and without malnutrition
50%+higher readmission rate when a patient is malnourished

Treatment can take away appetite, energy and the ability to shop and cook. The people around a patient want to help but often don't know what's safe to bring. MealKind's Care Circles solve that for families who have support. MealKind Social is how we reach those who don't.

In development

MealKind Social: our give-back program

Ask for meals

People going through treatment without support can request nourishing meals that fit their diet.

Cook for someone

Volunteers cook a meal from our condition-specific recipes for someone in their community who has asked for help.

Give

Fund meals for an individual, or support an existing local food organization we partner with.

Learn

Simple nutrition education for patients and caregivers: what to eat, what to avoid and easy meals for hard days.

Help us build it

We're looking for clinics, dietitians, food banks, churches and community kitchens to partner with, starting in San Antonio.
