Catherine Morneault is the founder and president of Let’s Eat Inc. When Covid shut down food banks, she saw the need and the obligation to become a mobile food pantry which would collect and deliver food to the most at-risk citizens. She created Let's Eat Inc. to pick up fresh food and deliver it to hundreds of families. In the ensuing five years, Let's Eat Inc. has collected close to 1 million pounds of food which has fed over 500,000 people.
She has had a passion for feeding people for more than 36 years. As an ESOL teacher for 6 years, Catherine was deeply moved by the overwhelming needs of the people she interacted with. This, in part, led to the vision and genesis of Let’s Eat Inc. in 2020. Her vision is to partner with communities throughout the Greater Baltimore Area. Catherine personally values all people and their right to access food, regardless of their economic circumstances.
Catherine is a wife, mother of three and grandmother of five. She deeply enjoys working with individuals with special needs. She is an avid gardener and raises rabbits. Another of her hobbies – along with neighbors – is saving hundreds of Monarch butterflies. In doing so, she creates multiple opportunities to teach the children in her Baltimore neighborhood.
In honor of Catherine's recognition as a Birdland Community Hero, the Orioles Charitable Foundation will make a donation to Let's Eat, Inc.
