This fall, join us in making Mac & Cheese Kits and No-Sew Fleece Blankets!
Mac and Cheese Kits
Introducing our brand-new project: Mac & Cheese kits! These kits are a game-changer in helping to fight food insecurity. When someone receives a kit, all they have to do is boil the pasta, mix in the cheese and it’s a delicious meal ready to enjoy. These kits will be donated to our friends at the Baltimore Hunger Project, Charm City Care Connection, Maree G. Farring Elementary/Middle School, The Baltimore Station and more amazing organizations.
*NOTE: One of the ingredients in the kit is NOT Kosher. If you keep a Kosher home and are unable to participate in the mac & cheese kit project, we’ve got you covered with an equally important project: no-sew fleece blankets! (See below for more info)

Help provide warmth, comfort and coziness to individuals experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity during the chilly winter months by participating in our No-Sew Fleece Blankets project.
