WHOSE HELP IS REQUIRED
Must have access to a car & be willing to attend a virtual 15 min driver training call.
HOW IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
With your help, we bring fresh fruits, vegetables and basic pantry items (not meals) directly to the homes of qualifying low-income Cambridge residents who are unable to access traditional food pantries due to illness or disability and do not have relatives or caretakers who are able to assist with groceries.
DESCRIPTION
Help deliver groceries to those in need. The Healthy Eats Home Delivery program differs from “meals-on-wheels” type programs because we bring groceries – not prepared meals – to our clients, allowing recipients to cook and prepare their own meals. Home Delivery gives seniors and people with disabilities more control over their meals, while providing a supportive service to those who cannot access traditional food pantries or have a support system in place for regular, healthy and nutritious food.
ITEMS NEEDED
Must have access to a car.
