Ceres Community Project

The Ceres Community Project is committed to creating healthy people, communities, and a healthy planet. Ceres is a non-profit which prepares and delivers free, healthy, and organic meals to residents dealing with the stress and challenges of a serious illness. Involving young people as volunteer gardeners and chefs, teenagers learn how healthy food makes an impact in the community. COVID-19 Impact: Ceres is navigating how to preserve these impactful programs, but also how to expand to meet the increased need caused by the COVID-19 crisis by providing meals to high-risk populations sheltering in place. At the same time, the important volunteer community that helps to do this work, has decreased by 60% and they are losing income due to the lack of classes and catering.
