WILMINGTON, N.C. - s4story -- tukr box Ministries announced the launch of its new tukr box® meal-sharing kit in partnership with Marry Me Marinara, for their meal sharing kit. The initiative supports homeless veterans and isolated elderly individuals through a direct, person-to-person meal-sharing model.

The program launched Dec. 22, 2025, in Wilmington, N.C., and is aimed at community helpers and corporate donors seeking a practical way to address food insecurity. Each kit allows participants to prepare one meal for themselves and a second meal for someone in need using marinara sauce from Marry Me Marinara and penne pasta intended for sharing.

The tukr box® model follows a one-for-one structure: for every meal kit sold, one shared meal is made possible for a homeless veteran, elderly neighbor or individual facing food insecurity. National data indicates approximately 30 percent of the homeless population in the United States are veterans, a statistic that continues to guide the organization's mission.

"This program is about turning good intentions into immediate action," said Adrian Willis, CEO of tukr box Ministries. "One warm meal can reach a homeless veteran, an elderly neighbor or someone who doesn't have enough today. Partnering with Marry Me Marinara allows us to offer a meal that is dignified, simple to prepare and meaningful to share."

Unlike traditional donation-based food programs, tukr box® emphasizes direct engagement. Participants prepare the food themselves and personally share it within their own communities, reinforcing human connection alongside nourishment.

Marry Me Marinara's role as supplier ensures a consistent, high-quality food component while supporting a scalable, mission-driven distribution model. The partnership allows tukr box Ministries to expand its reach without sacrificing ingredient standards or operational simplicity.

tukr box was founded in early 2020 during the initial COVID-19 lockdowns, when widespread closures left homeless individuals among the most visible and underserved members of many communities. The organization emerged in response, focusing on food insecurity, isolation and the breakdown of everyday human connection.
