Main Street Meals

Hope & Main’s answer for Food security in Rhode Island

Main Street Meals is a program that hires growing food businesses to cook delicious, high-quality dinners with locally sourced ingredients, and distributes these meals to neighbors in need of support.

We provide hundreds of meals weekly to community partners who can distribute the meals when someone comes in for other services. No ID or registration is required so the meals are easily and swiftly given.

    The popular Indonesian fried rice, Nasi Goreng, prepared by Savory Fare comes to life with tender chicken breast and is elevated with crispy onion strings on top, offering a delightful texture contrast. This version of the dish, rich in flavors thanks to a careful blend of spices, is further enhanced with mushrooms, carrots, cabbage, and peas. This culinary creation is not only a feast for the taste buds but also a testament to the rich culinary heritage of Indonesia, inviting everyone to enjoy its universally appealing flavors.

You Too Can Help! Community Supported Meal Share

When you purchase a “Buy One / Give One” meal for yourself, we are able produce a second meal to give away.

So, you’ll take home a lovingly prepared dish made by one of our member chefs and for every meal bought, another of the same meal is donated to a neighbor in need through our channels. 

Menu items change weekly, with limited quantities available.

MEALS DISTRIBUTED SINCE MARCH 2020

This program strengthens both lives and livelihoods, offering an innovative approach to emergency food assistance while supporting the local economy.

Main Street Meals meets families at the point of need. Whether it is in a Women’s Shelter, a Senior Center, a Head Start Program, a Recovery Center, a school or church, our partners are able to provide nutritious prepared meals on the spot for every child and every family member in need. Prior to the pandemic 1 in 10 Rhode Islanders was food insecure. Now it is nearly 1 in 3.  

With support from hundreds of donors, dozens of volunteers, and highly committed community partners we are working to ensure that local food insecure families and other vulnerable individuals can access whole, prepared meals at a time when nutritious food is critical to maintaining good health. Thank you for supporting Main Street Meals!
