WHAT WE DO
Chef John Doherty has curated nutritious, high protein meals that have an 24-month shelf life for Heavenly HARVST, a 501(c)(3) organization. Each recipe consists of a variety of quality ingredients that are cooked to perfection with absolutely no preservatives or artificial flavorings. Heavenly HARVST meals offer versatility to be served in distressed communities and can be taken home for future consumption to be enjoyed at any time. These chef-curated, delicious and convenient meals are designed to bring a new level of taste and dignity to a home in need. Our hope is that families can feel proud to put this food on their table.
The Hunger Relief Program New York City Deserves
For the 1 in 7 Americans facing food insecurity, hunger is only part of the story. The loss of dignity can be just as profound. Despite having over 60,000 food pantries and hundreds of community organizations, nearly 14 million children in the United States still go to bed hungry each night. But even when food is available, it is often highly processed, sodium-rich foods which can harm health and worsen chronic conditions. For families already under stress, this presents a tough choice: eat foods that may be harmful or go without. This reveals a hidden gap in our hunger relief system—not just access to food, but access to food that respects dignity, health, and choice.
The Heavenly HARVST Foundation (HHF) was created to interrupt this cycle.
Meals Built Intentionally, with Nutrition, Dignity and Heart
Heavenly HARVST offers premium, ready-to-eat meals because nourishing food is a fundamental human right. Each meal is fully prepared and can be heated and served in about 60 seconds—or eaten as is—without needing a full kitchen. Every serving provides 20 grams of protein, complies with CDC nutritional guidelines for both seniors and children, and contains no artificial ingredients or food dyes. With an 18-month shelf life, these meals stay safe, stable, and nutritious much longer than most perishable or donated options.

OUR SUCCESS TO DATE
During the Fall and Winter seasons of 2025, our distribution efforts provided over 200,000 meals to those in need, contributing to a cumulative distribution of over 500,000 meals nationwide. While many of our meals were initially sent to support COVID-19 relief efforts, we have since expanded our focus to include disaster relief and targeted programs for children and schools, ensuring that young people have access to nutritious meals alongside our regular distribution initiatives.
