Our Ongoing Journey
Our Roots
37 million people face hunger in the U.S. today — including more than 11 million children and nearly 5.4 million seniors. Hunger knows no boundaries — it touches every community in the U.S., including your own. Your support and generous donations will enable us to meet our goals and improve conditions of many families. If you are a restaurant owner or an entrepreneur in food industry, please allow us to reach you to collect your non-perishable food items which can be donated to these unfortunate families. We focus on making the maximum positive effort for our community. Us being able to connect with the homeless population and understanding what they go through daily keeps us going. Us seeing what little happiness we can provide continues to drive the momentum that helps us affect change. Our goal now is to go nationwide from developing a chapter in Houston this year and hopefully establishing another chapter somewhere on the East Coast in the coming years.
Our Mission
The Plateful's mission is to end hunger in the world one community at a time. We envision a future in which everyone does their part in eliminating food shortages and providing access to quality nutrition to communities around the globe. We hope to achieve these means by transporting excess food to people in need and through education.
