Healthy Meals Program
We believe people who need to heal should have easy access to nutrient-rich food to help them on their road to recovery.
We are honored to provide beautiful, delicious, and nourishing meals to individuals facing health crises, both physical and mental, as well as their families. Our goal is for each client to feel nourished not only by our nutrient-rich organic meals but also by the care and support of the entire Healing Meals community.
Healing Meals Community Project offers these nutritious meals at a sliding scale price, which is lower than the cost of prepared meals available elsewhere. We use income-based guidelines to determine the cost, and for some clients, meals are provided at no cost. To ensure our service is easily accessible, our Volunteer Delivery Angels bring meals directly to our clients' doors each week, offering both nourishment and support during challenging times.

Dear Healing Meals,
I want to take this time to say “Thank you” for your incredible support you “ALL” have provided me and my family during my health crisis. Your commitment to making organic, clean and tasty meals has been a true blessing. I understand the work that goes on behind the smile when you are delivering the “blue bag”. My body has and will continue to need this nutrition and care, as I continue to heal. You have shown me that it is possible to make delicious, healthy meals every day. Thank you!

I am deeply grateful to Healing Meals for providing nourishment, comfort, care and support to me during a challenging period of my life. Your efforts are exceptionally thoughtful and valuable, and I can’t thank you enough for all of the ways your meals and notes have enriched my life.

Our program creates personal connections and provides nutritive foods that support:
Constitution and Vitality
Immune System Function
Body’s Ability to Adapt to Stress
Overall Well-Being
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, volunteers and sponsors we serve as many clients dealing with an acute health crisis and their families as our capacity will allow.
Our research shows that, on average, our clients need meals for three months in order to feel the health benefits and to establish health-promoting habits. We aim to balance the needs of our community-at-large while also continuing to help current clients who need additional meals, so when space allows, we offer clients an Extended Meal Plan. The Extended Meal Plan allows clients to receive meals for up to 24 weeks.
Disclaimer: We do not diagnose, prescribe drugs, or recommend medical treatment. We offer a number of nutrient-rich food products which have traditionally been used to support healing. We make no claims, nor do we imply that any of these foods or herbs can cure, treat, prevent, or mitigate any health concern or disease condition. We assume that all clients who request Healing Meals services are doing so with the full knowledge and cooperation of their primary care physician.
