Help us combat hunger wth healthy food.
Last year alone, we fed 148,600 nutritious meals. Our programs include:
Good for You Groceries
We fill resusable bags with nutrition-packed nonperishables that our partners deliver to people who desperately need it. More than 41 million Americans rely on charitable food relief, but truly healthy, shelf-stable items are often hard to come by at food banks and pantries. Helping to bridge this gap, our Good for You Groceries contain ingredients to make 27 healthy meals. You can do it, too, with this list of healthy items.
Farm to BellY
A partnership with First Fruits Farm to bring homemade gourmet to the hungry! We offer volunteer opportunities to prepare chef-inspired recipes with farm-fresh ingredients and healthy nonperishables we provide at a community commercial kitchen. The dishes are frozen and delivered to people who lack access to healthy food throughout Baltimore County, City, and the surrounding counties.
In addition, children from low-income neighborhoods are afforded opportunities at the farm to learn how food grows and how to prepare farm-fresh and healthy nonperishables in a take-away kit that encourages home cooking.
Blessings Uniting Neighborhoods
In this program, we partner with Baltimore City & Baltimore County Police to fuel the health and wellbeing of citizens and sew kindness in the community. We provide our bags of Good for You Groceries which the officers — in their everyday policing — distribute to people they encounter who are in dire need of food. They also distribute our donated backpacks full of school supplies, Easter Blessing Baskets, and other meaningful items.
Think before you donate
Heaven on Earth NOW is on a mission to transform traditional food drives and collections to healthier versions. We need your help, too. Collect for or host a healthy food drive today or learn what’s best to donate.
Casas De Luz
Volunteers with our San Diego-based partner Casas de Luz build a home for a deserving family outside Tijuana in a weekend. Heaven on Earth NOW ensures that the family has the household essentials and the Good for You Groceries to equip them for their new lives. The poverty and living conditions from which these families have emerged are unthinkable—but the cycle is broken with collaborative work among our nonprofits and volunteers.
“There was a lady sitting on her porch and at first, she did not look as though she wanted to talk to me. But when I asked her if she needed some groceries, she was taken aback.
She said, ‘Are you serious?’ She was extremely happy when I handed her the Good for You Groceries. I usually interact with people in very stressful situations. It’s nice to approach folks in this way — to save the day in such a meaningful way.”
~Tony, officer with the Baltimore County Police, who distributes our nutritious nonperishables in Blessings Uniting Neighborhoods
