  • Open Hand allows us to feel confident that my mom is getting the nutrition she needs without having to worry about how we'll make it happen.

    - - Jennifer, daughter of Open Hand Client

  • Open Hand has been there for me through open heart surgery and a stroke that severely affected my mobility. I haven't been able to go to the grocery store, so fresh produce from market baskets has been great! It's delicious and really helpful to me.

In 1988, the kitchen at St. Bart's was probably no more than 5,000 square feet. We could've never imagined back then that we'd grow to become who we are now: one of the largest community-based providers of home-delivered meals and nutrition education in the country.
