MealShare: Nourishing Bodies, Building Community

Understanding the MealShare Program

MealShare is a cornerstone program of Finding Camelot, designed to bring people together through the shared preparation and enjoyment of meals. It fosters connection, reduces individual meal costs, and ensures that every member has access to nutritious, delicious food in a supportive, communal environment.

In the spirit of collaboration, MealShare emphasizes shared effort and creativity in the kitchen, transforming the act of dining into a community-building experience.

A Simple, Effective System

MealShare operates on a rotational system, where members of each household take turns planning, preparing, and serving meals for the group. The program is flexible, allowing households to adapt it to their unique needs and preferences.

1. Meal Planning

Members coordinate weekly menus during household meetings.

Menus accommodate dietary preferences, allergies, and cultural traditions.

2. Rotational Cooking

Each member is assigned cooking shifts based on membership participation guidelines.

Participants are encouraged to collaborate and learn from one another.

3. Shared Costs

Basic grocery expenses are pooled, significantly reducing individual costs.

Bulk purchasing ensures sustainability and affordability.

Why MealShare Works

MealShare is more than a program—it’s a movement toward healthier, more connected living. Here’s how it makes a difference:

1. Nourishment for All

Guarantees that every member has access to balanced, home-cooked meals.
Reduces reliance on expensive and unhealthy fast food options.

2. Community Connection

Cooking and dining together create opportunities for meaningful conversations and stronger bonds.
Members celebrate cultural diversity through shared recipes and traditions.

3. Time and Cost Savings

Rotational cooking means members spend less time in the kitchen overall.
Pooling resources minimizes grocery expenses for everyone.

4. Skill Development

Members learn new recipes, cooking techniques, and meal-planning strategies from one another.
Beginners gain confidence in the kitchen, while experienced cooks share their expertise.
