OUR MISSION

Our mission is to actively engage the community to provide medically tailored, nutritious, scratch-made meals to chronically and critically ill individuals and their families. We commit, in all our programs and business practices, to prioritize racial and economic justice and health equity.

We envision a world in which everyone has access to the nutritious food they need for health and well-being as a fundamental right, and actively engage healthcare and policy leaders to advocate for the integration of medically tailored meals into the public and private healthcare models and systems.

Since our founding in 1990, we have provided more than 13 million medically tailored meals (MTMs) to our clients across Massachusetts who are living with severe critical and chronic illnesses such as HIV, cancer, diabetes, and kidney disease.

Values: Community, Connection, Inclusion, and Nourishment.

In Their Words

When I started, I started feeling really good about myself. I was helping people who couldn’t help themselves. It gave me confidence…Not everything I did in my life (before) was positive.

We believe in the astonishing power of food.

Food is sustenance. Everything we have ever achieved
was made possible by food.

Food is nourishment. It fills our stomachs, fuels our bodies, and wraps us in its warm embrace.

Food is community.
For few things in life compare to the simple pleasure of breaking bread with family or friends.

Food is powerful medicine. It has the ability to heal not just
the sick, but the loved ones that care for them.

Food is an agent of change. It has the power to engage world leaders,
big business and change the way America feeds the sick.

Let us then celebrate the many powers of food.

Community Servings.
Food heals.
