Live in Phase 0
Meal credits
Breakfast, lunch, or dinner at a verified Antelope Valley food vendor.
Meal credits route the Meal Fund to plates of food. Issued in fixed dollar amounts and tied to a specific meal window — breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They redeem only during that window so partner vendors get traffic during slow hours.
The Meal Fund has dedicated surfaces. See the Meal Fund page for breakfast / lunch / dinner schedules, fund balance, and donor channels.
