PLENTIFUL provides prepared meals for single-mother families with a buy one, give one business model. We will officially launch in early 2025! For updates on progress and information on being a customer subscribe to our list below.

The Plentiful Social Enterprise was created by Motherful to provide single mothers and their families with healthy, delivered, and prepared meals every week. Plentiful is providing a multi-layered solutions to many issues our communities are facing.

  1. Single mothers are currently struggling with obtaining and maintaining quality employment.

  2. Food insecurity in single-mother households.

  3. Building and maintaining sustainable revenue for Motherful to further our programs that support our collective of 600+ single mothers and their families.

Through our partnership with the City’s Flourish Grant and Service!, Motherful has been able to receive training and guidance from expert chefs and restaurant owners to prepare our business plan and launch the paid prepared meal service and social enterprise to the public.

Motherful connected with Mango Consulting in February 2024 to secure funding to solidify the financial stability of Motherful to launch Plentiful, the social enterprise that will keep giving. This partnership allowed us to secure funding for operations and food programming at a total of $600,000 pledged (for 2025) and $25,000 received. A portion of these funds will be used for Plentiful Capital and Motherful operations in 2025.

We began our pilot led by Service! At Cafe Overlook in June 2024 and will have given over 1600 meals to single-mother families by the end of our 12-week pilot as well as employed many single mothers and community members to prepare meals.

The Motherful members who have received the meals have expressed relief and joy at the excellent meals delivered to them at the Motherful pantry every Thursday, supporting them to be able to rest and enjoy togetherness with their children while sharing a healthy meal.

  • "We loved our dinner on Thursday––it was tasty and more than enough for both of us and made dinner easy and healthy. LOVE IT!!”

    Jolara, Motherful Collective Member

  • “Working with Plentiful my income was almost doubled, I was able to pay some of my bills on time and some debts, it was a great means of addition to my income. I have always dreamed of being a chef and the training experience was generally ok because i got the opportunity to learn the importance of measurements for cooking, food storage (very important), and overall I was satisfied with the experience, so far I have just gotten to learn the basics of cooking and I hope to continue working with Plentiful after the pilot. The experience of working with Plentiful has overall helped my level of productivity from having little to no income then getting the opportunity to help me and my family.”

  • "Absolute blessing—these prepared meals literally allowed me to breathe and take some time for myself. Since I didn’t have to do the cooking/cleaning I had enough energy and time to start taking a yoga class. Every week when I’m starting to hit that point of exhaustion these meals are right on time."

  • "The meals has been an amazing blessing to my family. They taste fresh and delicious and helps us out so much. We sit down at the table and enjoy the meals together as a family and I don’t need to worry about dinner for usually two nights which has been such a relief. Thank you so muchhhh!"

  • "The food is a life saver some weeks. It’s delicious and it’s nice to have something prepared all week which gives us more time for family, homework, and selfcare."

    M.B.

  • "The food is very good. And it's been really good to sit down as a family and eat together. Especially on days when we have appointments.. and if we had to cook those days. Dinner would be very late."

  • The Plentiful meals are so special to me because I rarely get to eat REAL, made-from-scratch food unless I'm doing the cooking. It just hits differently when I can simply enjoy a meal instead of it being just one more of my responsibilities. The Plentiful meals have provided generous portions of wholesome delicious foods, and you can just tell it was all made with LOVE. These meals are a moment for me to pause and feel cared for amongst the non-stop responsibilities to care for others, and I'm so so grateful for that!
