About Grains of Hope
Location:3 CLOVERLEAF LN, FRANKLIN, MA 02038, US
Mission Statement
The modern field of food systems and agriculture is being revolutionized by new technological advances. However, our current food systems are inadequate to feed and nourish the ever-increasing population and do not provide healthy, affordable food for all. We would like to explore the food that we consume, such as where the food comes from and the challenges throughout the supply chain from farm to table. We aim to tackle problems with the current food systems, which includes food insecurity, food waste, malnutrition, unhealthy diets, food safety, efficiency of distribution channels, and long-term sustainability of food systems. Our mission is to raise awareness in our school and local communities about food related challenges, to promote food waste reduction, alleviate hunger, promote healthy diets, well-balanced nutrition, and food safety, and explore techniques to improve food system efficiency and sustainability.

Description
Founded by high school students from various states across the US, we are a vibrant and welcoming community that campaigns to solve food systems related challenges. As a diverse group with members coming from many backgrounds, we welcome members with varying interests to contribute to this cause, as we take both humanities and STEM approaches to further our mission.

We have expanded our organization branches to 5 states in the US, with each branch led by a local team carrying out a unique approach that best addresses food system challenges in its local community.

Give the comfort of a meal to our families. Providing a hot meal to our guest families is an integral part of providing a "home away from home." This program helps alleviate food insecurity and lifts another worry from the shoulders of the families we serve. Whether you want to sign up as a team or an individual, we rely on community partners to provide meals each night of the month so our families don't have to spend their own money to buy food while their child is in the hospital. The meal is served each night at 5pm and should include a main dish, one to two sides, and a dessert. We have eating utensils and drinks on hand, so those items are not needed.
