Help Improve the Lives of Low-Income Seniors, People With Disabilities, and Families in Your Community
One Nutritional Meal Per Day: A Commitment We Cherish
100% of your donation will be reinvested into our projects to prioritize feeding low-income seniors and people with disabilities by serving nutrient dense produce harvested from our urban farm in our meals. One nutritional meal per day, guaranteed and free, can restore health, vitality, and hopefulness to those in need.
- With the slowing down of the metabolism with age, ONE NUTRITIONAL MEAL per day may actually be life-sustaining and life-saving in some cases.
- Seniors who feel depressed or lonely often lose interest in eating: 86% of low-income seniors are Nutritionally Insecure. Our goal is to provide at least ONE NUTRITIONAL MEAL a day to as many as we can to help correct the depression prevalent in this at-risk population.
- ONE NUTRITIONAL MEAL a day can save thousands of tax dollars spent on health care for seniors.
- Almost 90% of Americans over the age of 65 have one or more degenerative disorders. ONE NUTRITIONAL MEAL per day can significantly reduce the risks of developing these diseases.
Our priority is to provide social services and support the nutritional needs of the residents at PTCH
I know this is the philosophy from the foundation, but we eat better here, we never had salads every day, the variety of food is incredible. Our monthly food bill has dropped, and we are even better off nutritionally.
