Welcome to The Village Food Project

The Village Food Project is an opportunity for our community to respond to our neighbor’s cancer crisis with the gift of nourishing meals. We have all been touched by cancer in some way; whether through a friend, a family member, or a neighbor who has fought or is fighting the disease. The Village Food Project sees this health challenge as an occasion to make a positive difference in the lives of those experiencing cancer. By cultivating community support and working together we can  provide delicious and nourishing  meals to our neighbors in Bay Village and Avon Lake.

The Village Food Project is a multi-generational project where adults mentor high school teens from Bay Village, training them in the kitchen to become the VFP chefs. As VFP chefs, teens take responsibility for a major portion of meal preparation and the packaging of meals for our clients. Through this experience our local teens learn about nutrition, meal planning, cooking, and serving their community. VFP clients and their families, will receive the gift of three meals a week for three months. Meals that are prepared and delivered by VFP volunteers. At The Village Food Project we believe we are at our best when we’re working together—people of all ages—sharing life and loving one another.
