Our president Barry Sendel founded our company knowing the comfort of a hot meal can go a long way during a disaster. He saw the need for shelf-stable, self-heating meals that were not only nutritious, but great tasting, safe, and easy to use. With this in mind, we launched our original line of Chef 5 Minute Meals™ and Gourmet Meal Kits for Disasters. Since 2000, we’ve provided millions of ready-to-eat meals to disaster relief agencies in the United States and abroad.
