Meals of Hope - Franchise

About

Meal packing franchise gives entrepreneurs the ability to do good in business by doing good in their community

How does our business model work?

Meals of Hope is an incredibly unique business model because our parent company is a certified nonprofit that is focused on solving the hunger crisis and helping communities become food secure. As a franchise system, our mission is to support our franchise owners as they grow businesses that seek to end hunger in their communities.

This is why our business model is as straightforward as it gets. Meals of Hope franchise owners spend their time building relationships with organizations, such as charities, businesses, universities, and houses of worship to sponsor meal packing events. The sponsors of the event supply the venue, provide the volunteers, and the site to hold the event, to ensure that the event is successful. The parent company of Meals of Hope supplies the ingredients to be packed for each event – and once the event is over, the food is picked up by the local food bank.

All our franchise owners have to do is find a sponsor for every event, and ensure that the events are fun, safe, and memorable experiences for all involved. Meals of Hope franchise owners get paid a percentage for every meal that is packed at their events, and our events can pack anywhere from 10,000 meals to over 1 million.

We only have 64 territories available

Meals of Hope isn’t in business to sell hundreds of franchise locations. We’re in business to send millions of meals to the people who need them most every year. We’re in business to end hunger, plain and simple.

Because of this, we’ve decided that in order for our franchise owners to have the strongest growth potential and ability to forge the relationships necessary to put on dozens of events every year, our territories need to be large, protected and exclusive.

This is why we only have 64 territories available across the country. Our territories consist of about four million people, and cover large geographic areas. In some cases, territories are entire states, and in others, territories are determined by population density and geographical area.

We are with you every step of the way

Franchising with Meals of Hope means that you’re joining a family of entrepreneurs who all committed to making a difference. Our franchise owners receive world class training and ongoing support, including marketing, professional development, and ongoing mentoring and coaching from the very people who built this business into what it is today.

Our leadership team is incredibly hands-on, and will be there to support you in every aspect of your business. We know that if you’re successful, the entire Meals of Hope franchise family will be successful. And this is why we’re committed to helping you every step of the way.

We have high standards for our franchise owners

Because Meals of Hope only has 64 territories available, we’re going to be extremely selective in who we choose to bring into our franchise family.

Meals of Hope is looking for entrepreneurs who are driven by more than money. This is an executive-level business where our franchise owners are spending the majority of their time networking and building relationships in order to find sponsors to hold their events. They have to be more than passionate – they have to be the hunger experts in their community.

This level of passion for the cause is not something that we will waiver on. Because this franchise family will always be small, every one of our franchise owners have to be extraordinary.

Meals of Hope is one of the most affordable mission-driven franchise opportunities

This is why the costs of owning a Meals of Hope franchise are affordable by design. We want to attract entrepreneurs who share our mission to fight hunger and have a drive to go out and fulfill this mission in their communities.

The total costs to own a Meals of Hope franchise ranges from $61,050 to $71,925. This includes the initial franchise fee of $40,000 and the cost of the first event of $11,500. Remaining costs are associated with general business startup. The ongoing costs of owning a Meals of Hope franchise are also kept low, because you don’t need an office, you can get started with no employees, and you don’t need to carry inventory. Your only ongoing expenses are contributing to the brand/marketing fund and the costs associated with networking with potential clients.

Overhead costs are low to the Packing Partner because Meals of Hope handles all of the inventory carrying costs, warehousing, transportation and logistics costs. No employees are required, and the Packing Partner can work from home (WFH/WFA). The sponsor organizations pay for the food ingredients, provide the venue, and secure the volunteers you need to make every event a success.
