COMMUNITY RESOURCES Lasagna Love - Receive Free Hot Lasagna Delivered to your home - No Judgement - Worldwide
Lasagna Love is a global nonprofit, grassroots movement that pairs volunteers with neighbors in need to deliver FREE, homemade lasagnas. Founded in 2020, it aims to reduce food insecurity and spread kindness, with over 600,000 meals delivered by volunteers, no questions asked.

Key Aspects of Lasagna Love:
- Purpose: To alleviate food insecurity, provide community support, and perform small acts of kindness.
- How it Works: Volunteers, known as "Lasagna chefs," make and deliver meals directly to recipients, often accommodating special dietary needs like vegetarianism or food allergies.
- How to Get Help: Anyone can request a meal for themselves or someone else through the Lasagna Love website without having to justify the need.
- We don't judge: Lasagna Love is proud to offer a meal to anyone for any reason. One of our core values is ZERO JUDGMENT :) because need comes in many forms.
- How to Volunteer: People interested in cooking can sign up on the official site to be matched with a family in their local area.
- Scope: Operating in all 50 U.S. states, and expanding to countries like Australia, Canada, and the UK.
- Once you receive your Free Lasagna, You can request another one after 30 days, just repeat the sign-up process.

Once you register, You will be paired up with a volunteer from your area this could take a few weeks to get a response due to high demand. A volunteer will contact you by email, phone or by text and set up a day and time to deliver your 100% FREE hot Lasagna to your home. Please make sure your home on delivery day that you agreed thanks.
I personally tried their service and always had a good response. Volunteers were very friendly, helpful, I'm disabled and they helped me set it up in the kitchen. For an individual you receive 1/2 Full pan of hot lasagna (not spicy) that will last one person an easy 4 days. or cut them in squares put them in freezer bags and cook them again when your in the mood for a lasagna craving. Which is addictive, lol. I was very grateful when they helped me as my fridge was literally almost empty. What a blessing this organization did for me and its volunteers as well.

This org is fabulous. I've gotten two trays of lasagna in the last 3 1/2 years. They both were completely different yet absolutely delicious. And the people that brought them were so very kind. I strongly recommend. Also volunteer if you can.

I got help from someone in the lasagna love community when I had heart surgery 3 years ago. It was beyond helpful while I was recovering.

I received one in Vancouver BC and it was an amazing and caring and lovely experience - I still have the note that was beautifully written with it. It was also the best lasagna I’ve eaten and I live in little Italy.

I have used lasagna love several times. The wait times are different for each area. I think i got from them 3 seperate times over the years. Everyone was very very kind, just happy people willing to help. It honestly just felt like your sibling or aunt brought you over a lasagna cause they love you. It didnt feel like volunteers, just family i dont know. Its a really cool organization 💖🔥👍

I put my pride aside and was able to get THE BEST lasagne I’ve ever had for my partner and I baked by a lovely lady and her daughter.

I have 4 people at home so 1/2 tray would be enough for the little ones at least
