“I was able to stay focused and pass all my classes during this pandemic. I received my AA in Automotive. I was so close to quitting because i didn't know where was my next meal going to come from and thanks to you and the Guardian Scholars Program I was able to stay on track and complete this semester successfully.“

Read More“Honestly, it's the best thing that has happened during Covid-19. I believe it has helped my mental state a lot because I have to go pick up a meal each day. It gets me out of the house for fresh air. I have seen a huge difference in my mental state since Meal Nation. I don't feel trapped in the house or depressed.“

The Meal Nation program is truly a miracle. Were it not for Foster Nation’s program, I would not get a fresh, warm meal prepared every day. I would frantically be trying to gather snack items or cold canned food to stave off the hunger. There aren't really any public places where I can access a microwave anymore.”

I didn’t have the money to have both a roof over my head (rent is expensive when you’re only working minimum wage) so I chose to save my food money for rent. I was very limited with my funds so I couldn’t eat some days. This has been a blessing for me honestly because I don’t have to stress as much about not being able to eat. I can just order food and I’m so very thankful.”
