Thrive-Thru | Free Meal Days

Support Free Community Meals!

Thrive Mahoning Valley is serving up more than just hot dogs—we’re serving hope, connection, and care through Thrive Thru, our new free meal days initiative for the community.

After a successful kickoff in summer 2025, we’re inviting our supporters to help keep the free meal days going!

Thrive Thru is all about meeting people where they are—offering warm meals with a side of dignity, no questions asked. Each event feeds 100 people, with meals prepared and distributed right from our site on Wilson Avenue in Youngstown. With the help of generous donors and community partners like Schwebel’s and local churches, we’re creating a space of welcome and nourishment.

But we can’t do it without you.

Every dollar you give goes directly to food, supplies, and outreach to ensure our community has increased access to free hot meals on-the-go; and a safe place to sit down and eat.

Help fuel this effort—donate today and support Thrive Thru!
