Chef preparing trays of meals for distribution

One Plate. One Promise.

We turn micro-donations into tracked meals for neighbors who need a plate between paychecks.

OnePlateMeal is a warm, transparent food relief loop—donors see every taka converted into groceries, prep hours, and a plate delivered with dignity.

Verified weekly

Livestreamed prep shifts, volunteer check-ins, and delivery confirmations keep the counter honest, always.

Fuel tonight's service in under a minute.

Choose a preset or bring your own number. Every donation generates a shareable receipt with the distribution date, kitchen partner, and the meals you made possible.

How it works

Simple loop. Zero mystery.

Who we help

Neighbors caught between paychecks, single parents in shelters, and students skipping meals during exam weeks.

Meals prepared

We batch-cook balanced plates in inspected kitchens, pairing local produce with pantry staples for consistency.

Meals distributed

Volunteers deliver on bikes, vans, and pop-up tables in parks—each drop is timestamped and logged publicly.

Transparency & trust

Every donation is linked to a real distribution.

Activity logs include distribution date, GPS-tagged location, partner kitchen, and the number of plates pushed out. Missed drops are flagged publicly within 24 hours.

Radical honesty

Donors receive a traceable URL after checkout. It shows when groceries are purchased, who prepped the food, and the exact time/geo pin of distribution. Missed targets unlock automatic refunds or re-routing.

Snapshot

94% of funds reached people within 36 hours in January 2026.

The remaining 6% covered last-minute kitchen inspections and a weather delay on January 11, documented in the ledger.
