OUR MISSION
Help fill the gap between Friday and Monday.
Seven Portions is being built around one straightforward idea: students who rely on school meals during the week should have dependable food support through the weekend, too.
HOW IT WORKS
Seven portions for the weekend.
One Friday dinner, three Saturday meals, and three Sunday meals.

FOR SCHOOLS
A simple partnership built around students.
Seven Portions is based in De Soto, Kansas, and is preparing to partner with schools in surrounding communities for the 2027–28 school year. Our service area will develop around local need, school partnerships, and what our small pilot can sustainably support.

We work with the school on a practical take-home process designed to respect student privacy.
Send food home
Weekend Packs are intended to go home before the weekend so students have food available when school meals are not.
WHY SEVEN PORTIONS?
The name is the model.
Seven Portions represents the seven planned portions that bridge the weekend: one Friday dinner, three meals Saturday, and three meals Sunday.
We’re starting close to home in the communities around De Soto, Kansas. School partnerships and the initial service area are still being explored as we prepare for the 2027–28 school year.
