Afromeals Foundation Partners with Miami Valley Meals to Serve Culturally Relevant Meals Across Dayton

Afromeals Foundation is proud to partner with Miami Valley Meals to prepare and share culturally relevant meals with up to 400 individuals across Dayton communities. Through this partnership, our team regularly cooks at the Miami Valley Meals facility, bringing African and Caribbean flavors to the table while preparing nourishing meals rooted in cultural tradition, care, and dignity.

Food insecurity impacts many families across the Dayton region, including refugee families and individuals seeking support through local food pantries. By working alongside Miami Valley Meals, Afromeals Foundation is able to help bridge gaps in food access while honoring the cultural food traditions of the communities being served.

Meals That Feel Like Home

The meals prepared through this initiative are fully cooked, ready to heat and enjoy, and require no additional preparation. More than just nourishment, these meals are designed to bring comfort, connection, and a sense of home. Familiar flavors play an important role in preserving cultural identity and supporting well-being, especially for families navigating challenging circumstances.

Through trusted community partners and food pantry locations, this collaboration allows organizations such as Catholic Social Services and Dayton Equity Center to offer meals that feel welcoming and familiar to the families they serve.

Community Partners Receiving Meals

Meals from this initiative have been shared with the following organizations:

• Catholic Social Services
• Dayton Equity Center
• Fairview United Methodist Church
• Sinclair Community College
• Omega CDC
• Dakota Center
• Wesley Center
• Corinthian Baptist Church

Each partner plays a vital role in connecting these meals to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity throughout the Dayton area.

Sustaining the Impact

Afromeals Foundation is currently seeking donations and community support to help sustain and grow this initiative. Continued support allows us to prepare more meals, reach additional families, and ensure culturally relevant food remains accessible to those who need it most.

This partnership reflects what is possible when organizations come together with shared values and a commitment to community care. Together with Miami Valley Meals, our partners and sponsors, Afromeals Foundation remains dedicated to expanding food access while honoring culture, dignity, and connection through food.

If you would like to support or partner with us, we welcome you to join us in continuing this important work.
