This resource is designed to help you clarify what additional resources and community partners will be needed to sustain your program, take action to secure effective partnership, and conduct a landscape analysis to select meal site locations that correspond to areas of need and viable service.

Overview

As you begin the process of developing your mobile meals program, you will face many choices of where to serve meals and what resources are needed to ensure viable and effective operations. In some cases, you may rely upon community partners to provide resources that are otherwise unavailable to your organization. While these activities are presented separately for planning purposes, they often occur in parallel and are mutually reinforcing.
