Mission & History
The Meals Partnership Coalition works each and every day to guarantee meal providers in the Puget Sound region have the resources needed to serve nutritionally dense, culturally and age appropriate meals to those in our community who would otherwise go hungry.
Our Mission
Meals Partnership Coalition (MPC) works to ensure that everyone has safe and reliable access to high quality, nutritionally dense meals.
MPC exists to create linkages between emergency meal providers, food donors, funders, community volunteers, and other partners in the area of hunger relief. It is our goal to ensure both the continued availability of safely prepared, nutritionally dense meals to those needing nutritional support and assure that emergency meal providers have the necessary physical and financial infrastructures to support emerging program needs.
Our History
Formed in 1998, the Meals Partnership Coalition has been an autonomous arm of OSL Serves since the onset. Representing more than 45 meal provider members, MPC is a consensus-based coalition that serves millions of meals to a variety of programs and recipients throughout the greater Seattle area. OSL has supported and staffed the coalition to assure its success and equity in representation in the emergency food system.
