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.
Food is at the heart of what we do, and our work has become even more important as more people in our community face food insecurity as a result of the pandemic and concurrent economic crisis. Through the challenges of this last year, Moveable Feast has continued to prepare and deliver medically tailored meals, support, and encouragement to our clients.
To meet the needs of our community, and further strengthen our organization, Moveable Feast will focus on the following five priorities: centering racial and social equity, growing and developing people, partnering to expand reach, demonstrating and improving impact, and engaging the community in our mission. We encourage you to read our strategic vision for 2021 – 2023 and join us as we work towards meeting the needs of our community and further strengthening our organization.
We’re rooted in our history and excited to be forging a path towards our future.
