WE’VE NEVER HAD ONE LOCATION

We currently use three community centers to cook over 178,000 meals a year for seniors. The extra expense of additional staff at each location and the constant back and forth between the different kitchens has made it very inefficient to feed seniors in our community.

That’s why WE NEED YOUR HELP!
