An average of 57% of clients live alone, making our daily social contact with them - in order to alleviate social isolation - that much more critical. We deliver Meals five days per week, with frozen and shelf-stable Meals available as weekend Meals and during major holidays. All Meals are freshly prepared at our facility daily. During fy23, we prepared a total of 327,800 hot and cold Meals for our clients. Along with Meals, each client receives a personal intake visit and at least one annual check-in from a case manager who ensures the individual is connected to all needed social services. They also update information, do a nutritional assessment and discuss any concerns of the client.
