Houts & Home Partnerships

In February, 2016, Amy Houts of Houts & Home met with Presbyterian minister, Reverend Jonathan Mitchell, Chairman of the Board of the Ministry Center in Maryville, Missouri, to discuss ways to help the low-income clients that are served by the Ministry Center. The biggest issues Americans face related to feeding their families are: cost, time, health, and picky eaters. Amy's cookbook, Mealtime Magic: Delicious Dinners in Half the Time, addresses those issues. Using the strategies in Mealtime Magic, a family of four can save $500/year, waste less food, spend fewer hours in the kitchen, and eat a variety of delicious, healthy meals. Amy contacted area businesses to inquire about underwriting the cost of her cookbook to distribute copies to families who are served through the Ministry Center. She was so thrilled that they exceeded their goal of offering 50 books to the Ministry Center, thanks to SSM Health St. Francis Hospital, the Northwest Missouri Regional Credit Union, and Compass Dental. Her book is an added tool to help these families use the food they are given more efficiently. Amy has worked with the Sisters of St. Francis in Savannah, Missouri, and others to provide cookbooks and education for the community. Amy feels passionate about reducing food waste and more importantly, stopping food insecurity. According to the website FeedingAmerica.org, "1 in 7 Americans struggles to get enough to eat. In fact, hunger or food insecurity exists in virtually every community in the United States."
