What is Melody Meals?

Melody Meals is a non-profit organization that aims to create a community of support for the unhoused population through live music performances. Our community of volunteer student musicians delivers chamber music concerts to the unhoused population in the greater Los Angeles area.

We do this because:

  • Over 49% of the unsheltered population in the United States live in California.

Melody Meals Thoughts…

  • "It was so wonderful to have Melody Meals on site while our guests sought services and picked up their nightly dinner. The music was beautiful and brought serenity to the evening."

    -Mary, Hollywood Food Coalition

  • "Melody Meals brought a special warmth to our daily breakfast for the unhoused. Their beautiful music created a peaceful and uplifting atmosphere, brightening the morning for everyone in attendance. We are deeply grateful for their kindness and the joy they shared with our community."

    -Tanisha, St. Francis Center

  • "A dish can not only be flavored by salt and pepper, but also with sounds."

    -Charles Spence, Oxford University Professor. In A Perfect Meal - through gastrophysics - studies found that music has a profound impact on the taste of food. Music, especially classical music, can create an atmosphere that makes food taste better and makes mealtime more enjoyable. Melody Meals’ mission follows this belief.
