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 Program Overview:Ceres 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.Healing Meals Program 2018 Accomplishments:During 2018, Ceres Community Project provided 102,695 meals to 631 clients and their families through our Healing Meals Program. A total of 431 teens were engaged in 23,990 hours of work-based learning in two organic food production gardens and three commercial kitchen operations. Our program evaluation data show statistically significant improvement among clients on 8 out of 10 quality of life measures. Three to six months post engagement, clients have increased fruit and vegetable consumption by 17% compared to before they participated in the program. Nearly 60% have reduced the amount of fast and processed food they are eating. 100% say that the meals were important to their healing; 93% report that the meals helped reduce their social isolation, helping them feel more connected to the community; 85% say that receiving the meals helped to insure that they ate even when they didnt feel like it.54% of youth in Ceres programs are eating 6+ servings of fruits and vegetables daily compared to just 22% of all California youth who are eating just 5, and 77% of youth at Ceres are confident they can prepare a healthy meal from scratch. On average, youth are 40% more likely to say they feel extremely confident on 11 different culinary skills and 4 basic gardening skills. Among Ceres youth alumni, 80% describe their diets at mostly whole foods and 47% are cooking from scratch 4+ times per week.Healing Meals - Youth HighlightsDuring 2018 we engaged 431 youth in 23,990 hours of mentoring, healthy eating education, leadership development and job training. Of these, 2,971 hours were paid job training through two programs: paid work in our catering program and paid interns. We paid a total of $41,040 in wages to youth. 25 Youth became new Teen Leaders during the year and a total of 59 youth served as Teen Leaders. Teen Leaders must complete a self-assessment on key skills needed in the kitchen and garden and then meet with a staff member and current teen leader. If accepted into the program they receive a personalized chef coat and are supported with every other month leadership training and a weekend retreat. We opened the Santa Rosa program site garden with shifts beginning in March 2018.Healing Meals - Client HighlightsIn addition to basic meal delivery to families in Marin and Sonoma counties with serious illness, in 2018 Ceres was involved in the development and implementation of three pilots/research studies about food as medicine:We began implementation of the Congestive Heart Failure Nutrition Intervention Pilot for MediCal patients in California. This project is being overseen by Department of Health Care Services and involves Ceres along with five other nonprofits across the state. The program has been slow to start because we are struggling to get health care partners to refer patients. We served 7 patients during 2018.We launched a formal research study with Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa Hospital to evaluate the impact of a 8 week/14 meal per week nutrition intervention for congestive heart failure patients being discharged to home on 30 and 90 day readmission rates.We worked with St. Josephs Health and Redwood Empire Food Bank to design a pilot food ac
