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.

We create health for people, communities, and the planet through love, healing food, and empowering the next generation.

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 2015, Ceres Community Project provided 94,593 meals to 642 client families from three kitchen locations in Marin and Sonoma counties, California. 437 teens were engaged in 22,886 hours of work-based 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.Youth 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, and 28% more likely to be cooking meals from scratch at home.Program Expansion:We remodeled a 1,200 square foot commercial kitchen in Santa Rosa, CA on the campus of Social Advocates for Youth, a nonprofit serving formerly homeless youth and those leaving the foster care system. We completed a 20 year no-cost lease agreement to operate our programs at their site and opened that program in February 2016.We also completed an agreement with Alameda Point Collaborative in Alameda, CA to offer services from an existing commercial kitchen on their campus. This program launched in March 2016 and is engaging formerly homeless youth and providing nourishing organic meals to women with cancer living at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.Client Program Development:Our Sonoma Valley Program provided 15,557 meals, more than double the 6,427 meals provided in 2014.We piloted a transition support program for very low-income clients completing our meal delivery program. 18 clients each received 8 weeks of delivered fresh vegetables from the Ceres Community Garden along with recipes and nutrition information. The program was very well received an in late 2015 we received a $60,900 grant over two years to expand this pilot and also test the impact of nutrition and cooking classes for this population.Youth Program development:We added 29 new Teen Leaders to the program, 2 in Marin and 27 in Sonoma County.We created a Youth Policy providing guidance to staff and our overall organization on our work with youth.Youth staff completed two trainings on youth mentoring and one training on evidence based practices for working with youth.Ceres work was supported by 532 adult volunteers who contributed 28,922 hours of service annually valued at $608,299. More than 60% of adult volunteers report that they have made positive changes in their eating habits since becoming involved.
