About Us

At Food for Health, we believe in the power of the body to heal itself. We believe providing adequate nutrients to the body, provide the vital resources needed for healing.

We have three distinctive programs, serving those in need:

Healthy Meals Program:

The core of the mission of Food for Health (FFH) is to help people facing a crisis in health, heal. We do so in a distinct manner: we prepare, educate, and freely give nutrient dense meals to those in need. These meals are carefully curated by our team of chefs, and volunteer kitchen staff; not only are they healing foods, but they taste amazing as well. We understand a barrier for those receiving treatments (like chemotherapy), is the taste of foods; we seek to provide nutritious foods that recipients struggling to eat, might find irresistible.

In addition to providing meals for the recipient, we also provide meals for his/her family as well. This going above and beyond to serve our recipients home, is designed to take away the pressure of meal prep, so the recipient can focus on healing. All meal items are provided for 12 weeks, free of charge.

During our service to those in crisis, we provide recipes and dietary education for our recipients, so they come to understand the importance of blasting their bodies with nutrient rich foods that promote healing. The recipes help the recipient continue to provide healing foods for their family into the future, preventing a cycle of illness for the entire family.

Teen Education Program:

While our Healthy Meals Program is a reactive program, the Teen Education Program is proactive. While hard to measure, we believe this program is preventing generational illness in individuals and family units. Each year, FFH brings in a new crop of our local youth, and we pour into these teens, so they have a firm grip on why they should care about what they consume, how to prepare healthy foods, nutritional guidance, safe food prep and chef tips. Our teens tend to remain committed throughout their High Schools years, and many come back to us during and after their collegiate pursuits. The meals these teens are preparing are the very meals going out to those in need in our community, providing tangible help to those in need and showing these teens how good it feels to give back to their community.

Our Teen Education Program is producing well-educated, prepared leaders who have increased desire to serve their community, dietary wisdom, and the ability to prepare healthy meals.

Organic Garden Program:

Finally, our gardening program educates patrons on sustainable gardening techniques, so they learn healthy gardening habits to ensure organic and nutrient dense produce yields. The produce raised in our community garden, goes directly into our food preparation, to help offset escalating food prices.
