Overview
In early 2000, following Ruth Brinker's vision of "nutrition with compassion," Project Open Hand
expanded its mission of providing "Meals with Love" to include other people who are incapacitated and in need. We now deliver hot, nutritious meals to anyone under 60 years of age,
who is homebound due to critical physical illness or medical condition. That means that people who are living with life threatening illness , are experiencing an acute exacerbation
of a chronic illness, or are recovering from recent surgery, and cannot shop or cook for themselves can now receive daily meals from Project Open Hand. Project Open Hand has been serving women with breast cancer since 2000, as part of the Homebound Critically Ill program. We have been awarded a grant from the Avon Foundation and the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade to expand our services to more women living with breast cancer. This grant allows us to have a dedicated staff person provide outreach to women with breast cancer, work with other breast cancer service providers, provide meals and support to a greater number of women and their families, and to extend this support throughout the duration of the cancer and its treatments.
