The Story
Urban Meals is a cooking show which will serve healthy, home cooked meals to the homeless and hungry people of Wilmington, N.C. The creater of this cooking show is a single mom whose worked in the film industry for years and who also, with her family, has served meals for many years to those in need, in the cities they've lived in, and on various mission trips. The team of Urban Meals couldn't be more spectacular together, not only in talent, but in heart! We have the best team members on the planet, and are hoping to be able to grow our team with each episode.
With this cooking show, our intenet is to employ out of work film crew, since film incentives were taken away from NC a couple of years ago, leaving several tv/film workers in desperate circumstances, while also helping to end food insecurities here in our own city. We cook for, serve, and fellowship with the hungry in our community, and are working with different outreach programs in Wilmington to not only stop hunger, but to also aide in developing work skills, mentorship, and job placement for those in need.
