Stretch Your Food Budget (SYFB) is a year-round service project of the Nantasket-Hull Rotary Club dedicated to ensuring that our neighbors in Hull have access to nutritious, home-cooked meals.

Founded in 2020 by Rotary charter member Dennis Zaia, SYFB was created in response to growing food insecurity – an issue made more urgent by reductions in SNAP benefits and limited food pantry resources. Today, many Hull families continue to struggle, and the need for support is steadily increasing.

SYFB helps residents stretch their food dollars while still enjoying healthy, satisfying meals. Each week, families receive thoughtfully prepared meal kits that include all the ingredients needed for easy-to-make, delicious recipes, along with simple instructions. Each kit provides 4–6 servings, enough to feed an entire family, and is supplemented with additional food items such as canned vegetables, soups, stews, and specialty goods.

There are no prequalification requirements. Food is ordered online, carefully packed, and delivered weekly at no cost by dedicated Rotary volunteers.

As economic pressures continue to rise, so do the demands for this vital program. Your donation can make an immediate difference for Hull residents facing food insecurity.

If you are in Hull and would like to receive free meals from the program, visit www.syfb.space to fill out an order form and make your selections by 5 p.m. on Friday for delivery on Tuesdays.

Please consider supporting SYFB with a donation:

• By check: Make payable to The Nantasket-Hull Rotary Club (write SYFB in the memo) and mail to PO Box 38, Hull, MA 02045

• By Venmo: @Nantasket-Hull Rotary Club

You may also receive an appeal from Givebutter, a partner of our Rotary Foundation. If you have any questions about the legitimacy of an appeal, please contact us at nantaskethullrotary@gmail.com.

Together, we can ensure that no family in Hull has to choose between nutrition and necessity. Thank you for your generosity and support.
