Six days a week, our staff and volunteers work tirelessly to prepare, package and deliver meals to our neighbors in need. Our meals are specialized to meet the needs of children and adults facing HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging illnesses. With each delivery, we hear stories like these about the impact our services have on so many individuals and their families.
"Food & Friends has allowed me to live and eat stress free. I cannot afford the healthy food that I have everyday with your program. My cost of doctor bills are mounting every month . . . Food & Friends has helped me to survive"
"I just wanted to thank you for your service. It has really helped me to accomplish my goal, which is to nurture my body in a healthy way. The food has been very healthy and very tasty to me."
