The Third Meal
Great Full Gardens is partnered with The Third Meal, a 501c3 non-profit that links up kids with restaurants to provide those in need with that extra meal that they don't always receive when not in school. 30 million children across the country are dependent on the 2 meals they receive at school, and most do not get that "third meal."
The Third Meal makes it possible for children to not only eat, but be able to enjoy an experience millions of people take for granted - to go into a restaurant and order off the menu just like anyone else, without the stigma so often associated with 'being in need'.
Great Full Gardens was part of this non-profit's pilot program in 2021, and continues to be committed to providing children a place to dine with Dignity while eating nutritious meals.
