About Miami Valley Meals: Miami Valley Meals is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides delicious chef-inspired meals to Daytonians experiencing food insecurity. Since we first launched our program in 2020, our team of professional chefs have recovered thousands of pounds of surplus food from a variety of local sources and transformed it into more than 600,000 meals for our hungry neighbors. These fresh and hearty meals are distributed free of charge throughout the Miami Valley by our network of nonprofit partners in an effort to help residents thrive.
