About Us
Moveable Feast
Moveable Feast has served as a beacon of light for over thirty years, bringing healthy food and compassion to those struggling with chronic illness. The organization was founded during the height of the AIDS epidemic in 1989, to provide food, hope, and love to those living with HIV/AIDS, many of whom were members of the LGBTQ+ community. Moveable Feast has continued to support underserved and vulnerable communities in Baltimore, while also expanding its reach across Maryland and serving people with illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
By fully harnessing the power of medically tailored meals and nutrition therapy, Moveable Feast works to improve health outcomes and address social determinants of health. We are proud to be part of a national network of nonprofit providers known as the Food is Medicine Coalition.
We know we are making a difference in the lives of people living with serious illnesses, yet alarming health disparities remain for the people we serve. Research and our own experience confirm that racial and social inequities are a root cause of these health disparities. Our work continues.

Ride for the Feast
Ride for the Feast 2023 marks the 21st year of Moveable Feast’s largest annual fundraising event! This event raises money to support Moveable Feast’s mission to serve people who live at the intersection of critical illness and food insecurity by preparing and delivering medically tailored meals and providing nutrition education, all at no cost to the client. We mobilize a community of volunteers and supporters to feed people, fight disease, and foster hope.
