Our History Inline Box

Our History

We started as friends caring for friends, and that’s who we still are today. We began in 1988, when a small group of friends gathered to cook meals for their neighbors and loved ones disenfranchised by HIV/AIDS. Since then, guided by a mission of compassion and service, our organization has expanded to meet the needs in the community to provide health-promoting food directly to the homes of people who need it.
