The  We Cancerve Movement, Inc.

Nearly 17 million children in the United States experienced food insecurity in 2020, according to Feeding America, a leading national nonprofit food bank network. This is a devastating impact of the covid-19 pandemic.

​

In response to the pandemic's toll on local homeless shelter Anna's House, We Cancerve created "Spork'd," a free meal kits project where We Cancerve's all-youth team fills a box with all of the ingredients and instructions of their favorite family recipe to give to a family enrolled in a local homeless shelter's in transitional housing program. The kits often include cooking supplies as well, such as aluminum foil, measuring cups and pans. 

​

The idea began with Jennifer Crosson, the former resource development manager at Anna's House who was brainstorming alternative ways to offer life-skills courses to Anna's House program residents. Courses include family budgeting, job readiness and healthy, affordable cooking. These courses are designed to reduce recidivism.

​

Today, We Cancerve's Spork'd is a quarterly project for homeless, foster and other

         vulnerable families in the greater Baltimore/Harford County region affiliated

      with nonprofits we support. The project received initial funding from Hormel

     Foods and the Fearless Foundation.
