Serving families across Kansas City

Pete's Garden meals are distributed through social service agencies that serve children and their families.   In 2020, our first full year of operations, we will have distributed over 30,000 healthy meals!   Agencies currently receiving Pete's Garden meals include Operation Breakthrough, Community Linc, Amethyst Place, St. Mark's Center-UICS, and YMCA Headstart.   Most of the families who receive Pete's Garden meals are headed by single women in low paying jobs, living below federal poverty guidelines.

What families are saying

 It's a blessing to have a healthy prepared meal available at the end of the day.  It really reduces the stress and expense of having to prepare and serve a meal after a day of work and then childcare in the evening.  This makes the family time at the end of the day much more enjoyable.

I really like the variety of healthy food options that I've been given.  I've tried many new things that I don't know if I would have tried,  and they are all very healthy and both adult and kid friendly. 

What agencies are saying

Amethyst Place families are so grateful for the healthy and delicious meals that Pete's Garden has provided throughout the pandemic. With significant job loss and financial strain, these meals helped relieve some of the daily stressors that our single moms face. Not to mention, their healthy and well-balanced approach to food recovery and meal distribution aligns with our own efforts to improve wellness among our families. We are so thankful for this wonderful partnership!   

Starla Wulf Brennan, Executive Director Amethyst Place


When parents pick up their children, they can also pick up a healthy family dinner.   Our working parents really appreciate the convenience of a take-home meal and the quality and variety of food has been great.

Mary Esselman, CEO Operation Breakthrough 


Reducing food waste and getting good food where it's needed most is a priority for Harvesters. The more people and organizations who become engaged in the issue of hunger, the better, and the greater impact we can have collectively on our community. We're encouraged to see Pete's Garden join the fight against hunger and look forward to witnessing the difference they make for hungry families. 

Sarah Biles, Director of Communications, Harvesters 

What food donors are saying

We never want to waste good food and Pete's Garden makes it easy to donate.  It's nice to know that our extras are packaged up so that kids in our community can have a healthy family dinner. 

Nick Wysong, Executive Chef KC Hopps Catering
