Meal Delivery Service

The Hardy Center Meal Delivery Service provides thousands of children daily with breakfasts & lunches throughout their school summer breaks.

Many families in the neighborhood we serve, are dependent on food from schools to fill the hunger of the child until the next day. In the summer there is no school, meaning it would be even more difficult for families to access a constant source for their child's next meal. Faculty at The Hardy Center created the idea to deliver meals to the front door of an array of houses. As the COVID-19 pandemic hit, there was no summer program for 2020. Every single child that was registered was delivered a meal to last them two days every other day.

Each summer, we deliver approximately 100,000 meals to children around the Linden area. Filling the void of each children one doorstep at a time.
