Food & Friends has 30 years of experience home-delivering meals to clients living with chronic or serious illnesses. Our staff will work with you to tailor our program to meet your organization’s goals. Whether you want to implement a post-discharge meal program to decrease readmissions or a longer-term intervention to stabilize your most at-risk members, Food & Friends can make it happen.
Research shows that our home-delivered, medically tailored meal program leads to better health outcomes, greater patient satisfaction, and lower total medical costs.
