Together we are starting the food revolution, give with confidence now.
Why Give
Your gift helps neighborhoods like Lower Price Hill close the meal gap and recover from food apartheid, ending food desert status so families can drastically change their long term health outcomes through access to affordable fresh, healthy foods.
Solutions like this not only increase access to foods on a daily basis, they are reducing transportation costs to convenience and grocery stores by nearly $4,000 a month in small communities.
Why Us
Your Store of the Queen City is community-based: helping communities create their own food solutions that are designed and run by neighbors, for neighbors, just like Meiser's Fresh Grocery & Deli.
We invest in our community, dishing up food career and business development opportunities right alongside emergency food resources & programs, connection to local produce & food products, including affordable and free options made daily in Meiser's own fresh deli.
It is building a systems based solution to lack of community control over food access. We combat not only the problem of food inequity, but the systems which create it. Join our fight for racial and class equity.
Why Now
After cuts to food benefit programs like SNAP, the meal gap for vulnerable families has grown exponentially.
Free food programs like Meiser's Green Giveaways (available 6 days a week) and our weekly Cooking Club have seen a growth in free food distribution from 62,100 meals worth of servings distributed in 2023 up to 89,251 meals worth of free food in 2024 so far. That is an exponential jump from 10,064 meals served in 2022.
To continue meeting the growing needs, we need you to help keep our free fridges and shelves stocked with food so families can feed themselves with dignity as Meiser's and the work of Your Store of the Queen City bothh continue to expand for the better.
Give with confidence.

Have you thought about becoming a recurring donor?
