Food & Friends was recently featured by WTOP following the groundbreaking for our Nourish Together: Building a Healthy Community campaign, highlighting our $30 million expansion and renovation that will more than double our capacity to serve neighbors living with serious illnesses.
Read the full story from WTOP: DC nonprofit making millions of meals for the sick is set to expand.
The story showcases how Food & Friends currently prepares and delivers more than 2.2 million medically tailored meals each year across the Washington region and why our growing demand has made this expansion essential. The new 17,000-square-foot addition will create more space for meal production, food storage, volunteer operations, and private nutrition counseling—allowing us to reach thousands more people in the years ahead.
WTOP also featured comments from CEO Carrie Stoltzfus, MPH, Director of Nutrition Services Rebecca Kahn, and volunteer and former client Loris Adams, who shared how medically tailored meals provide nourishment and hope during some of life’s most challenging moments.
We’re grateful to WTOP for helping share the importance of Food Is Medicine and the impact this expansion will have on our community.
