We encourage everyone to make a personal commitment to share regular meals with their family. Remember: there is no set number or meals or specific types of food you need to make. Do what works best for your family and your schedule. There are also several other ways to support the Grace Before Meals movement:
Research proves regular family meals help children to be healthier and less likely to use drugs or alcohol. If you know someone who could benefit from Grace Before Meals, encourage them to visit our website and sign up for free weekly emails full of tips and recipes from Fr. Leo. It’ll be an easy reminder of the importance of eating as a family, and it’ll show you are willing to support this important message. The more people who sign up, the more it demonstrates to Wall Street and Hollywood that people like you feel passionately about this idea and are willing to support it.
Money from the sale of our book, Grace Before Meals: Recipes for Family Life, is returned back to the movement to continue supporting the message. To order a copy for yourself, a friend, a neighbor, a colleague or a family member, click here.
We are currently seeking groups or organizations interested in sponsoring segments of our movement, including the website and/or weekly email blasts. It’s perfect for small to midsized companies looking to reach parents, grandparents and people committed to improving family and community life. For more information, please contact Tim Watkins at twatkins@getrenegade.com.
We’ve developed a Grace Before Meals television series, and PBS has agreed to broadcast the program! Currently we are working to secure funding for the production of the first season. If you represent a major company or group that is interested in a full or partial sponsorship of the program, please contact Tim Watkins at twatkins@getrenegade.com or Melissa Lamar at mlamar@getrenegade.com. For additional details on the benefits of corporate sponsorship click here.
Several individuals have expressed a personal interest in bringing Grace Before Meals to TV and have inquired about making financial donations to the cause. In response, we have started a fund for these contributions. Any money donated for this purpose will be put into an account and only used once enough money has been raised to cover production costs for the first season. Checks may be made payable to LMW Films and can be sent to Grace Before Meals 10950 Gilroy Rd Suite J Hunt Valley, MD 21031.
