We’re Looking for Food Partners
To meet this growing need, Kids’ Meals depends on strong partnerships with food manufacturers, distributors, growers, retailers, and transportation partners. We already partner with many leaders in the wholesale and retail food industry but we are looking to grow.
In 2026 alone, we will spend nearly $2 million on food.
This positions Kids’ Meals to be a strong partner, while affordable pricing and donated products are critical to sustaining our mission.
Food partnerships could include:
Mission-friendly pricing
In-kind food donations
Deviated or discounted product
Close-to-date inventory
Rejected loads and surplus product
Food rescue opportunities at scale
Truckload or partial-load donations
Items we welcome
We are committed to delivering healthy meals and prioritize protein, fruit, and healthy snacks.
