Kitchen Equipment Needed
With your support each year, our neighbors in need receive 2.2 million medically tailored meals at no cost. Making that much food puts significant wear and tear on our equipment, and we urgently need to replace essential items, including carts used to hold all our medically tailored meals, groceries, and ingredients. Will you help us raise $15,000 by May 1st to buy new equipment?

A Message from CEO Carrie Stoltzfus
When our neighbors with cancer, ALS, and other life-challenging illnesses are too sick to food shop or cook, your support brings medically tailored meals and groceries directly to their doors at no cost. CEO Carrie Stoltzfus wanted to share her appreciation for all that you do as a Food & Friends family member and read a thank you note from a client living with cancer.

“Food & Friends has been a lifesaver for me…The food is good and I look forward to it. I just appreciate it and by the time I stop getting it, I will be back on course to stand up at the stove and cook my meals again.”
