Let's Get Down to Bidness!
Join us for Home-y Made Meals’ first-ever Silent Auction fundraiser!

For the past five years, Home-y Made Meals has been showing up with love, dignity, and homemade lunches for our unhoused neighbors across LA, the Valley, South Bay, Orange County, and Long Beach. What started as a grassroots effort during the pandemic has grown into thousands of meals served every week powered entirely by volunteers like YOU.

Now, we’re inviting you to get in on the bidness! Browse through unique items, special experiences, and special gifts generously donated by local businesses, partners, and our very own volunteers. Every winning bid helps us continue providing meals and resources to our neighbors who need it most.

So go ahead: bid big, win something special, and know that your generosity is nourishing lives beyond the auction block. Auction ends Sunday, November 16 @ 7pm

Thank you for being a Home-y! <3

When Covid-19 crept in and disrupted our personal and communal lives, we received stay-at-home orders. Our unhoused neighbors stayed at home, outside, directly facing multitudes of insecurities. While we started fighting for toilet paper, they continued struggling for survival. Homelessness endured with greater visibility.

As the impact of homelessness magnified, Eayikes, a collective sparking meaningful connections and strengthening community health, and Polo’s Pantry, who nourishes and cares for food, housing and resource insecure communities throughout Southern California, joined hands. Together, we sought to address, replenish, and reallocate the displacement of resources— specifically food. Our intentions to proximate ourselves to homelessness and close gaps between them and us resulted in Home-y Made Meals (HMM).

HMM is a 100% people-powered initiative adapted to the safety measures required during Covid-19. Within the safety and comfort of their homes, volunteers from all around Southern California prepare, deliver, and serve homemade meals every day. Partnering with shelters and coalitions, we have moved past merely existing as a project. We are a community— a network of networks— a family founded and bounded by food.

By serving homemade meals to low-income communities every day, Home-y Made Meals seizes the power of food to nourish our unhoused neighbors, move people towards action, and synthesize tangible solutions supplanting segregation. We practice relational work in food justice, prioritizing accessibility and adaptability to protect the ones we serve and the ones serving.
