Meals that Matter is a new program designed to provide full, satisfying meals not just snacks to individuals with disabilities in Southwest Florida. Far too often, food assistance programs focus on quick bites or pantry items, but a snack is not the same as a meal. A proper meal brings comfort, dignity, and the assurance that someone cares. Food is a basic necessity that no one should go without, yet many individuals with disabilities face barriers such as financial hardship, transportation challenges, and limited access to inclusive community food resources. Meals that Matter bridges that gap by ensuring that individuals with disabilities can sit down to a complete meal, prepared by local restaurants, just like anyone else.
