Meals with Meaning returns on Thursday, April 23, 2026, bringing our community together for a day rooted in connection, generosity and great local food.

Take a meaningful step toward eliminating childhood hunger in our community by participating in Meals with Meaning, a long-standing and essential fundraiser supporting the Fieldstone Foundation’s Backpack Program. On this day, participating restaurants will generously donate 20% of revenue from dine-in and take-out orders, with all proceeds directly supporting the Backpack Program.

The Backpack Program is a cornerstone initiative in the fight against childhood hunger, providing reliable weekend meals and snacks to more than 500 food-insecure children across eight local elementary schools in Malone, Brushton-Moira, Chateaugay, Salmon River and St. Regis Falls. This support helps ensure children return to school on Monday nourished, focused and ready to learn.
