  • Parent Plate Program

    WE SUCCESSFULLY DEVISED AND LAUNCHED FEEDING FAMILIES FOUNDATION'S FLAGSHIP PROGRAM AT YALE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL CALLED THE PARENT PLATE PROGRAM WHICH HAS PROVIDED HUNDREDS OF MEALS TO PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS OF THOSE CRITICALLY ILL CHILDREN ON THE HEMATOLOGY/ONCOLOGY FLOOR. FEEDING FAMILIES FOUNDATION ALSO LAUNCHED THREE OTHER PROGRAMS TO SUPPORT THE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES AT YALE CHILDREN'S: CAKES FOR KIDS WHICH PROVIDES BIRTHDAY CAKES FOR PATIENT BIRTHDAYS; SNACK PROGRAM, WHICH PROVIDES THE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES WITH SNACKS FOR WHEN HOSPITAL FOOD SERVICE IS NOT RUNNING; AND LOCAL FOOD FARE, WHICH COORDINATES FOOD DELIVERIES FROM LOCAL RESTAURANTS TO YALE CHILDRENS FOR THE FAMILIES. ADDITIONALLY, FFF HAS ENTERED AN AGREEMENT WITH CONNECTICUT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL (CCMC) TO HELP PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THOSE FAMILIES OF CRITICALLY ILL CHILDREN TO PURCHASE FOOD AT CCMC. BECAUSE CCMC'S FACILITY IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, OUR SUPPORT LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT BUT WE HOPE IT EVENTUALLY BECOMES MORE SIMILAR TO OUR PARENT PLATE PROGRAM AFTER CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETE. WE WERE VOTED BEST NONPROFIT BY COMMUNITY VOTES NEW HAVEN, AND WE JUST WON BEST HUMAN SERVICES NONPROFIT IN THE RECORD JOURNAL READERS' CHOICE AWARDS.
