Kits vary, but some of those assembled thus far have included chicken, mashed or roasted potatoes, chili, cooked rice, salads, tri tip, mandarins, white-bean-and-ham soup, pasta and dinner rolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople are extremely appreciative,\u201d Roberts Family Development Center co-founder Derrell Roberts said. \u201cThe food that they may have been getting prior to that was certainly not (this kind of) restaurant food &#8230; I think people taste this pork or chicken or beef and think \u2018mmm, this is a little different.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/news\/coronavirus\/article241478541.html\">Virtually all restaurants<\/a>&nbsp;across California have closed their dining rooms within the last two weeks amid local and statewide stay-at-home orders designed to slow the coronavirus\u2019 spread. Sacramento County had&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/news\/coronavirus\/article241551911.html\">164 confirmed COVID-19 cases<\/a>&nbsp;and six deaths due to the disease as of Friday, according to county health officials. More than 86,000 cases have been identified in the United States, the most of any country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Family Meal fulfills three needs, Mulvaney\u2019s B&amp;L co-owner Patrick Mulvaney said. Several small area farmers who sell primarily to restaurants have suddenly found their main clients don\u2019t need much product; having a revenue stream and a place to offload that produce, dairy and meat helps ensure the farms will still be around once restaurants fully reopen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some participating restaurants are paying their employees to assemble the kits, while others rely on a few volunteer staff members. Either way provides a sense of normalcy and something to do, Mulvaney said. Add in the benefit of feeding the hungry, and it\u2019s clear why Nutting and Mulvaney want to establish a template for other restaurants to mimic in their own communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe idea is that it\u2019s not necessarily flowing profit to our bottom line, but it is a way to keep people working and supplement our curbside business,\u201d Nutting said. \u201cIf we can help the purveyors that provide us with this incredible bounty and take care of our community at the same time, we\u2019re doing our small part during this crisis to keep everyone together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each kit costs $20 to produce, $15 of which goes toward labor and ingredients. Similar efforts are being coordinated through&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nixta.co\/\">Nixtaco<\/a>&nbsp;in Roseville and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.savorycafeonmain.com\/\">Savory Cafe<\/a>&nbsp;in Woodland,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@clay_nutting\/family-meal-485fe0d21ead\">Nutting wrote in a Medium post<\/a>&nbsp;on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though Sacramento has a surplus of restaurant staff and available ingredients that could feed other vulnerable populations, funding remains a hurdle in Family Meal\u2019s potential growth. The City of Sacramento will pay for SHRA\u2019s meals, but more money would allow the restaurants to expand on the 140 kits per week they each are now producing, Nutting said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A private underwriter sponsored Canon\u2019s first 300 kits, Nutting said. Mulvaney\u2019s B&amp;L relied on direct food donations from companies such as Sysco (300 pounds of meat for $12),&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.durstorganicgrowers.com\/\">Durst Organic Growers<\/a>&nbsp;in Yolo County (2,000 asparagus stalks) and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gingerelizabeth.com\/\">Ginger Elizabeth Chocolates<\/a>&nbsp;(800 macarons) during the first week of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cClay\u2019s continuing to search for funding, but we said this week, \u2018OK, we\u2019re just going to start doing it,\u201d Mulvaney said. \u201cSomeone asked, \u2018well, moving forward, how are you funding this?\u2019 I answered, \u2018there\u2019s hungry people out there. How are you&nbsp;<em>not<\/em>&nbsp;funding this?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All participating restaurants other than Mulvaney\u2019s B&amp;L&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/news\/coronavirus\/article241371021.html\">remain open for takeout or delivery service<\/a>, and many are now encouraging customers to donate to Family Meal under the premise of buy-one, give-one. Nutting also&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotfund.com\/story\/c9f9921c-e54a-4861-9571-7dc942ba2e5c\">launched a crowdsourcing page<\/a>&nbsp;through Spotfund on Friday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt shows the best of Sacramento when people say, \u2018how can I help?\u2019\u201d Mulvaney said. \u201cEach of us, in our own way, has a way to help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/news\/coronavirus\/article241566456.html\">Link to story in the Sacramento Bee<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Benny Egel Five upscale Sacramento restaurants have launched a program called Family Meal that\u2019ll supply community members in need with thousands of free, pre-cooked meals each week throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
