Matthew 25:35
More than a helping hand. A place to belong.
We don't just give people something. We take them in.
Our story
“I was a stranger, and ye took me in.”
Took Me In started with college students in Utah bringing home-cooked meals to families who could use a little extra love. Local leaders and neighbors tell us who might need it, and we show up — not just once, but as friends.
How it works
Someone shares a name.
A neighbor, friend, or leader tells us who could use help.
We listen first.
Our team reviews every request and reaches out to make sure help is wanted.
Students bring a meal — and come back.
Volunteers deliver food and build a real friendship.
