Perspective
Our volunteers gain perspective through their exposure to the members and facilities in our homeless communities.
The story behind More Than Food
How More Than Food was born.
It started with three teammates, a simple breakfast, and a belief that a shared meal can close the distance between people.
Founded 2023
Three student-athletes, one local mission.
More Than Food was founded by three student-athletes at John Carroll University wanting to make an impact on the local community.

Proper nutrient intake plays such a pivotal role in being a top performing athlete, so we take great pride in eating healthy foods — which is exactly what we provide at our service events.
What we serve
A protein-packed breakfast of champions.
In our traditional breakfast events, we feed individuals potatoes, eggs, and cheese, all wrapped in a tortilla to make a protein-packed breakfast of champions.
It is the same fuel we rely on as athletes — and we believe everyone who joins us at the table deserves nothing less.
Why it matters
Perspective, exposure, and hope.
Our events offer invaluable lessons that reach far beyond the meal itself — for everyone who takes part.
Exposure
We bring together two communities that rarely share a table, so each side sees the other clearly and humanly.
Hope
Members of shelters see that their communities care enough to show up and offer their service.
