Another place we visited on the Boston food tour was an amazing meal service for the sick. Originally founded to serve HIV positive people it has now expanded to serve people and their families with a range of serious illnesses. Community Servings provides 7,500 free meals to help patients heal.
Meals are flash frozen and a week’s worth of food is delivered all at once. Microwaves are provided if needed.
Through providing tailored delicious meals this program gives people more than just food, it gives them hope. Programs are being evaluated and clients have lower overall costs and fewer stays in the hospital.
Volunteers and a core staff prepare thousands of meals each week.
Words of appreciation.
I'd love to hear from you!
