Hearth & Hollow Meals · Dubuque, Iowa

Pull up a chair. Supper's already on.

Weekly hot meals, frozen bundles and grocery boxes, carried to the door along routes through Dubuque. Order for yourself, or for a neighbor who could use one.

The placemat

Four ways to take part.

Pick the piece that fits your week: a hot meal from the card, a bundle for the freezer, a box of groceries, or a morning out on the route.

01 · Hot meals

This week's menu, cooked and carried to the door.

Order the days you want and leave the rest to the kitchen. Meals ride out on the route and arrive ready to eat.

02 · Frozen

Frozen meal bundles

Stock the freezer for the days you would rather not cook. Bundles travel with the same route as the hot meals.

Take a bundle03 · Route

Route volunteer shifts

Carry a short list of stops and a warm bag. A route asks for a morning, and it changes how the week feels.

Take a shift04 · Groceries

Grocery add-on boxes

Add a box of staples to your weekly order and it travels out with the meals, no second trip needed.

Diabetic-friendly options, and a basket for the holidays.

Two more things the kitchen sets out. Both travel on the same weekly order as everything else.

Diabetic-friendly options

Mark diabetic-friendly on any hot meal and the kitchen builds that plate to suit. Same menu, same route, same chair at the table.

Holiday meal baskets

At the holidays the table gets bigger. A basket holds a full meal to cook at home, ordered ahead and delivered before the day arrives.
