At Community Health Network, we believe nutrition is important to general health, and we want to ensure that persons in need of specialized or therapeutic diets receive proper nutrition through the Mobile Meals program.
Specialized diets include, but are not limited to:
-
Low sodium
-
American Diabetic Association/No concentrated sweets
-
Low cholesterol
-
Mechanical, soft and pureed
Individual preferences or special requests will be evaluated based on our daily menu selections.
Volunteers will deliver the hot meal to the person’s home between 11:15 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, holidays excluded.
To insure prompt and safe delivery of hot meals, we ask for yours assistance in maintaining our volunteer drivers’ schedules. The drivers’ available time for socializing, conversation and set-up may be limited.*
*Delivery of the meal completes CHN’s “Mobile Meals” responsibility.
