Healing Meals nourishes with love. We believe that food is medicine, so we prepare and deliver nutritious meals that support healing for people recovering from acute health issues. Uniquely, all our meals are prepared by youth volunteers working alongside our Adult Mentors and Executive Chef. These delicious and nutritious meals are delivered by our volunteer Delivery Angels.
