Results & Goals
What we do: We raise money by requesting donations, grants and sponsorships from individuals, foundations and companies. Additionally, we host fundraising events that require minimum cost or the costs are fully sponsored. We then buy fresh beef from American Food Group (one of the countries largest beef processors) or other major producers at or near production costs. We then consistently deliver and donate the fresh beef every month directly to food banks and hunger relief organizations for distribution to those in need. Currently we are donating beef to the Northern IL Food Bank, The Chicago Food Depository, Veterans Closet, Roberti Culinary Pathway and a variety of other smaller hunger relief organizations. We are 100% volunteer based organization which enables us to put every dollar raised directly toward feeding those in need. We are the only 501c3 in North America that exclusively raises funds, procures, delivers and donates fresh beef high in protein to those in need.

Short Term: Ongoing support for local needs by donating to local food banks and other hunger relief organizations that can assist us in getting more meals high in protein to more people in need faster.
Long Term: To raise enough funds to consistently provide monthly delivers of fresh beef ( high in protein) to all US Food Banks: 25,000 beef meals to each of the 200 food banks = 5,000,000 annual beef meals. At 1/4# per meal = 1,250,000 #s of ground beef delivered in 1# chubs. At a cost of approximately $2.5 per pound we need to raise $3,125,000 annually to serve 5 million meals.
Please help us work toward our long term goal by donating.
