  Project Mealz

  Jun 2020 - Jul 2022

  Co-Founder

  My friend and I have started this initiative to get as much food as we can to the food insecure living in the broader West Valley area. We deliver food to West Valley College, as with their current budget, they can only feed 300 out of the 1000+ students who need food every week. We've also partnered with West Valley Community Services to raise funds for them to help the people they serve, and food will be delivered to them as well. Raised $11,000 in the first two months of operation.
