What you receive

A week of meals, and someone at the door

Client friends receive a week's worth of balanced, freezable meals prepared in our commercial kitchen or by volunteer home cooks, plus groceries, snacks, and seasonal fresh produce as available.

There is no cost, no fee, and no income paperwork. Deliveries are made by a volunteer visitor who returns the same day each week and stays to talk.

Groceries, shelf-stable staples, and fresh produce alongside meals
