History
The Meal On Me program initially kicked off in September 2014 when founder, Erwin Caesar, launched and engaged support from Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams and the Interfaith Hospital. In October 2014, Emmanuel Baptist Church sponsored a family of four who had an interest in healthy eating and cooking. Working with local government officials, nonprofits, and businesses to identify families who can benefit from M.O.M, the organization started building a pipeline of families and financial supporters.
