Summer Shipping Update (Important!)
Big update today. This is an issue that we've been agonizing about for literally months. It's an issue that we've given a LOT of thought to. Because it's a very important issue for every one of our subscribers. And that issue is shipping our boxes in the summer.

First off, a BIG thank you to all of our amazing customers for making this possible! Second, we're actually donating a little more than 2 meals per box shipped this year. Why? Well, because we were brand new this year, we haven't sent out a ton of boxes yet. So, we added some extra $$$ to the donation to make it a total of... 1,250 meals donated!
