About Us

 Feeding My Neighbors is a compassionate, community-driven nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting hunger and providing nourishment to individuals and families in need. Founded by Chef Aimee Plesa on the simple yet powerful belief that no one should go hungry, the organization operates as a locally run food program focused on building genuine connections with the people it serves. Rather than functioning as a large, impersonal charity, Feeding My Neighbors emphasizes neighbor-to-neighbor care — meeting people where they are, offering dignity, and fostering hope one meal at a time.

At its heart, Feeding My Neighbors is about community. It is a grassroots effort by local residents and businesses who saw growing food insecurity in their area and decided to take action. What started as one person's vision for helping others distributing homemade meals and grocery bags from their own kitchens is growing into a trusted network of caring individuals, donors, and partners. The organization plans to operate community food drives, free meal programs, and neighborhood pantry stations, ensuring that those struggling with food access can find support without barriers or judgment.

Every week, healthy meals made from fresh, donated ingredients will be made and distributed. The focus isn’t just on feeding the body, but also on nurturing the spirit — providing food that is comforting, nutritious, and served with kindness. Feeding My Neighbors plans to work closely with local farmers, grocery stores, and restaurants to rescue surplus food that would otherwise go to waste, turning potential loss into life-sustaining nourishment. This approach not only supports families in need but also promotes sustainability and strengthens local food systems.

The program’s impact reaches far beyond providing meals. Feeding My Neighbors hopes to become a symbol of unity and care within the community. It serves as a bridge between those who can give and those who need a helping hand, creating a shared sense of purpose. Volunteers often speak of the relationships they build through their service — the smiles, stories, and gratitude that remind everyone of the power of compassion. For many recipients, the organization provides more than food; it offers reassurance that they are not forgotten and that their community truly cares about them.

Ultimately, Feeding My Neighbors is more than a food program — it’s a movement built on empathy, respect, and love for one another. It stands as a testament to what can be achieved when ordinary people come together to care for their neighbors. Through the dedication of volunteers, donors, and community partners, Feeding My Neighbors continues to bring hope, nourishment, and unity to those who need it most — proving that a full heart can feed many, and that together, we can build a community where no one goes hungry.
