Private foundations have always been munificent and active supporters of Community Servings. We recognize that effective partnerships with corporate and foundation funders is essential to our success and ability to carry out our mission. Since Community Servings' inception in 1990, we have received generous grants from local and national foundations to support our mission to feed those affected by critical illness as well as to support our innovative complimentary programs such as the Community Servings Teaching Kitchen job-training program and the Meals for Many social enterprise.

Funder Profile

For the past five years, Susan G. Komen for the Cure has provided Community Servings with annual funding to support our Home-Delivered Meals Program for Individuals and Families Affected by Breast Cancer. This support has been instrumental in our mission expansion, nutrition education programming, outreach and marketing of our service within the breast cancer community and building of collaborative relationships with referral partners.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure's first grant to us in early 2004 funded a pilot program to serve breast cancer clients, our first step in our mission expansion to serve any person who is home-bound and suffering from an acute life-threatening illness. We are honored to continue our partnership with the foundation in 2009. With the foundation's help we expect to serve 45,000 meals to 150 clients, dependents, and caregivers affected by breast cancer.
