If there have been times when you may have wondered how you could get involved in your community without making a major commitment to volunteer with an organization or to serve on a governmental committee, Lasagna Love may be your answer.
Founder Rhiannon Menn started the organization at the beginning of the pandemic as a way to deliver a homemade meal to her neighbors. Her simple act of kindness evolved into a nonprofit organization that now has 25,000 volunteers delivering lasagna meals in three countries. People sign up to cook with as much or little frequency as they desire and are matched with those who request a monthly meal. “Local lasagna mamas and papas” (as the volunteers are called) have so far delivered 150,000 pans of love.
This all started with a mom wanting to spread kindness in her community. You don’t have to be lofty in your dreams or effort to do good work — just begin.
