Prepared Meals

At IGI we know that people don’t just need produce to be able to access a healthy diet, many need prepared nutritious foods too. For people who have limited kitchen facilities, limited physical mobility, are recovering from health challenges or are in Hospice care, having access to good quality prepared soups, meals, and pre-chopped vegetables can make a meaningful difference in their lives and their health.

We have a commercial kitchen facility at the Airport Business Park where our staff and volunteers make 75,000 prepared meals each year. Many are distributed through the Island Food Pantry, and others are given out through our partner agencies, including healthcare providers, Councils on Aging, Hospice, mental health support programs, and more.  

In addition to our frozen prepared meals, soups, stews, and prepared vegetables, we also make fresh lunches during school vacations to help bridge the nutrition gap for students and families when kids lose access to school meals.  And we prepare baby food to provide good nutrition and support families as their young children transition to solid foods, distributed through Visiting Nurses, the Family Center, and by referral. 

Our prepared meals program is made possible in part by Slough Farm Foundation.

If you or someone you know needs access to prepared meals, please call us at 508-687-9062.
