Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Our mission is three-fold: (1) to provide those facing cancer and other life-threatening illnesses with nourishing whole foods meals that can support their healing, (2) to teach teens how to cook and eat for health and to develop them as future leaders committed to making a difference in their communities, and (3) to educate the general public about the vital link between what we eat and our health.

Ceres Community Project's mission is to build healthy communities by restoring whole local and organic food to its place as the foundation of health, and by connecting people in heart-centered ways to themselves, others and the earth.

IRS990/Desc0Healing Meals ProgramCeres core program Healing Meals for Healthy Communities includes the following key components: 1) Supporting primarily low-income individuals dealing with serious illness with free and low-cost delivered and nutrient-rich organic meals, nutrition education, and a community of caring; 2) Involving young people as volunteer gardeners and chefs, giving them direct, hands-on experience of the difference that fresh, healthy foods and community make, and of their own capacity to contribute while building life and work-ready skills; and 3) Engaging people of all ages and from all walks as volunteers and in-kind contributors in order to connect them to others and to their value as an integral part of the community.During 2014, Ceres Community Project provided 79,478 meals to 513 client families from three kitchen locations in Marin and Sonoma counties, California. 410 teens were engaged in 19,303 hours of service learning in an organic food production garden and three commercial kitchen operations. Clients surveyed three months after they have stopped receiving the meals report a 23% increase in vegetable consumption compared to before they participated in the program, and nearly 80% have reduced the amount of fast and processed food they are eating. 100% say that the meals were extremely important to their healing and 83% say that what they learned about healthy eating and nutrition was extremely important to them; 93% report that the meals helped reduce their social isolation, helping them feel more connected to the community.Teen who are active for at least six months are 29% more likely to be eating 3 servings of vegetables each day and the percentage that say they eat fast food either daily or frequently decreases by 54%. Teens are also 50% more likely to be encouraging friends and family to make healthier choices.Client Program Development: In 2014 we:a) Moved our Marin Program to a new site which will over the next year allow for 50% more youth to be engaged and for the program to provide 80% more meals than they did in 2012.b) Our Sonoma Valley Program completed its first full year providing 6,427 meals, compared to just 883 in the last four months of 2013.c) In Sebastopol we expanded service from four to five days, allowing us to now provide meals to 100 client families weekly compared to 80 previously. The expansion included an addition to our walk-in space at the Bodega Facility and the hiring of a Kitchen Program Manager. d) Deepened our ability to serve the needs of Spanish speaking clients. Our brochure, New Client Packet, Welcome Letter and Completion packet have all been professionally translated into Spanish. We hired a bi-lingual Client Program Assistant and we now have several bilingual volunteer Client Liaisons.e) We also expanded our Nutrition Education to our clients. Our New Client Packet was redesigned. We redesigned our weekly Nutrition Bite to include a recipe and now have 24 nutrition topics that we cover with clients. We also created a 45 minute dvd version of our Healing Foods Basics class and this dvd will be made available free of charge to all clients.Teen Program development: In 2014 we: a) Deepened the engagement of our Teen Leaders. We held our first Teen Leader weekend retreat. We revised our board policy and now have two teens on the board as full voting members supported by adult allies. Teens also developed specific criteria for teen leadership and created a self-assessment matrix to help teens determine if they are ready for the Teen Leader Program. Our two teen board members wrote our annual holiday appeal and teens helped design and host a series of end of the year fund-raising videos.b) We formalized our Teen Ed curriculum with lesson plans for the key topics that we cover, and we integrated work-ready competencies and some career exploration topics into the Teen Ed curriculum. c) We offered two semesters of the Ceres Culinary Class, our for credit high school culinary c
