Mission: Healing Meals' mission is to provide healthy. Organic meals to people in a health crisis, while fostering compassion and empowering youth and adult volunteers in our communities. Our food philosophy is based on the simple but true concept that food is healing when it’s whole, organic, locally grown, and prepared with love. Key aspects of our approach include: ♥ Supporting individuals dealing with serious illness by delivering at no cost or at a significantly reduced cost, nutrient-rich prepared meals. ♥ Mentoring young people as volunteer chefs and gardeners, giving them direct, hands-on experience to learn how to cook and eat healthy food as well as understand the power of their food choices to build healthier communities and a healthier environment. ♥ Educating the broader community, about the connection between fresh, healthy food, strong social networks, healing, and wellness.
