Breck Meals That Heal

Breck Meals That Heal is a volunteer meal service offered to Breck community members and their families who are facing a hardship. The generosity and desire to care for and reach out to others is integral to Breck’s philosophy and mission. In addition, this program continues to strengthen the bonds within our Breck community.

How it Works

The Breck family in need is initially identified by a fellow community member, teacher, or Breck staff and referred to the Meals That Heal co-chairs Danielle Preissing and Pritika Kumar. Following a conversation with and consent from the identified family, the Breck Communications team sends an email to the appropriate Classroom and Grade-Level parents directing them to BreckMealsThatHeal.org where families may view and sign up as a volunteer to prepare a meal. Each situation is considered individually so that the family’s needs are best met. In the rare situation that a Breck family expresses the desire for confidentiality, with their consent, meal delivery is managed discreetly. The Meals That Heal coordinator will be provided only with the total number of family members and any dietary restrictions. The prepared meals will be delivered to the identified Breck representative instead of directly to the recipient family. No identifiable information will be provided at any point in the communication process. Meals are typically provided for a two week time span although there is flexibility depending on the need of the family. 

New Additions

Meals That Heal, New Additions was created to welcome new members of current families to the Breck community. Through birth or adoption, new Breck family members are welcomed to the community with a mailed gift. Information about new Breck family members is provided to the Meals That Heal coordinator, Danielle Preissing, by community members, teachers, and staff.
