What Meals for Good Inc does
Mission
To reduce food insecurity for all people living in New York City by increasing access and choice to culturally relevant healthy food. We envision a time when everyone in NYC will have equitable access to a variety of healthy, fresh food. Increasing the resiliency of local food systems by partnering with regional farms, local food businesses and schools and pantries to ensure a sufficient supply of acceptable and accessible food for all.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Meals For Good works with community-based organizations (CBOs) in high poverty neighborhoods to distribute vouchers for independent supermarkets. These vouchers are distributed to people who are food insecure. The number of vouchers each person receives is based on the size of each family and the amount of the Meals For Good grant. Each week, the supermarkets return the used vouchers with receipt data so we can see what people buy. Not surprisingly, people in every neighborhood where vouchers have been distributed, they buy high quality meats, fresh produce and kitchen basics such as corn oil, flour and other pantry staples. Our data shows that vouchers are redeemed at a very high rate, food insecurity is significantly reduced, mothers say they dont have to miss a meal so their children can eat, health is improved and financial security is increased. We are continuing to work with institutions that will collect data with the goal of helping more jurisdictions in NYC and beyond, to create similar voucher programs.

After a visit to each of these pantires to ensure they can store and distribute fresh produce, we then work with them to order the produce they need. We order mostly from local and regional family farms to help support our farm families as well as the families who wait on pantry lines. We have also started giving incentive grants to pantries - extra monies to try a new product that is seasonally available and may be more familiar to families from different cultures waiting on line for food.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $47k to $154k (+231%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
99% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund MEALS FOR GOOD INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 73% · 2022 79% · 2023 95% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $9k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
