Delivering food, compassion and hope
At the heart of our work is food. Everyone needs to eat. For some, though, getting access to meals each day is not always an easy task. That’s where we come in. Each day we prepare more than 4,000 nutritious meals in our restaurant-grade kitchen.
We offer more than 50 items on our menu that seniors can choose from—which is more than many restaurants—including meals to help them manage health issues such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes.
We deliver more than food, though—we deliver compassion and hope. Our drivers bring meals directly to the seniors, giving us the opportunity to check in with them. This social interaction is crucial. It allows our seniors to build trust and gives them the chance to share their thoughts, stories, jokes, challenges, and concerns. It helps minimize isolation, which can lead to depression.
Likewise, these interactions allow drivers to watch out for our seniors with genuine care and attention. They're on the lookout for issues that they report to the senior’s case worker or family.
