Part 3 - Line 4a
MEAL PROGRAM: UGM'S PRIMARY PROGRAM IS ITS MEAL PROGRAM. LUNCH IS SERVED MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, AND DINNER IS SERVED MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. MEALS ARE OFFERED TO ANYONE SEEKING SUPPORT, REGARDLESS OF RESIDENCY. THE MISSION SERVES AN AVERAGE 175-200 GUESTS PER MEAL. FOOD RESCUE: TO REDUCE COSTS, EACH WEEKDAY UGM TRAVELS THROUGHOUT DULUTH RESCUING SURPLUS FOOD FROM LOCAL GROCERY STORES. RESCUED FOOD THAT CANNOT BE UTILIZED IN MEALS IS STILL MADE AVAILABLE TO GUESTS VIA SHELVES, FRIDGES AND FREEZERS IN THE DINING HALL. PROJECT JOY PROGRAM: WHILE SUBSIDIZED WEEKDAY BREAKFASTS AND LUNCHES REMAIN AVAILABLE AT SELECT SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT SUMMER MONTHS, MANY WEEKEND CHILDREN MEAL PROGRAMS ARE PAUSED DURING SUMMER BREAK. IN HOPES OF FILLING THIS GAP, UGM PACKS AND DISTRIBUTES DRAWSTRING BAGS FILLED WITH EASY-TO-OPEN, EASY- TO-PREPARE FOOD FOR CHILDREN TO UTILIZE ON THE WEEKENDS. TO AVOID ACCESSIBILITY BARRIERS, UGM DELIVERED BAGS WEEKLY TO VARIOUS YOUTH SUMMER PROGRAMS. 1,905 BAGS WERE DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER OF 2023. HOUSING: UGM OPERATES THE MISSION HEIGHT'S HOUSING COMPLEX, LOCATED UPSTAIRS OF THE DINING HALL.
