My Education, Action, & Lifestyle
M.E.A.L. is a non-profit organization that seeks to improve the nutrition and health of students across the world. Through community outreach initiatives and education we hope to create a healthier world one M.E.A.L. at a time!
VISION
While there are grocery stores stocked to the brim with foods, 50 million American homes remain food insecure and struggle to put food on the table each day. To make matters worse, 85% of Americans do not consume the recommended amounts of nutrients that are needed for proper health and development. Poverty, lack of resources, and a negative food culture contribute to these alarming numbers. But we have to remember, these are not just numbers. These are children and adults that are going hungry or not fueling their bodies as well as they should. These are children and adults that may experience an array of health problems later as a result. Our vision is to fix this. We want to provide the resources so that students have access to nutritious food each day. We also want to educate students on how to eat more nutritiously so that they can fuel their growing bodies well. Ultimately, we dream to see a healthier world.
