About Meals That Matter
Meals That Matter nourishes families in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with moments of reprieve centered around a comforting meal, activity, or experience. With the support of partners, donors, and fundraisers, March of Dimes can deliver hope, stress relief, and self-care. Meals That Matter strengthens all of our mission initiatives, including the critical NICU Family Support® program that educates NICU staff and educates and supports families through evidence-based programs and digital and in-person resources while their babies are in the NICU and during the transition home.
"A simple meal is more than a meal, it is sustaining. In fact, I've had parents cry in relief when they've been offered a meal in the NICU. When a mom or dad's physical needs are met, they are better equipped to learn, be engaged and care for their fragile child and their siblings."
Through partnerships with companies, organizations, and individuals, as well as fundraising, March of Dimes will be able to provide comfort and strength to NICU families in your community and from coast to coast.

Katye gave birth to Lauren (top) and Bruce (bottom), who were born 17 months apart at 24 weeks each. Lauren, born 1 pound, 2 ounces, spent five months in the NICU, and Bruce, weighing 1 pound, 9 ounces, spent six months in the NICU. Katye recalls how taking a moment for a meal and connecting with other NICU moms helped her regain hope. She said, “The support groups, weekly meals and care package provided by March of Dimes in the time I needed it most made a difference in my life and gave me a level of comfort that I can never put into words.”
