We know how to nourish cancer recoveries. With your help, we will.
At Culinary Care, we fill plates with free meals and hearts with hope, community, and joy — making these essential ingredients part of everyone’s cancer care.
1 in 5 cancer deaths each year is a direct result of malnutrition. We’re on a mission to change that.
We believe nourishment is more than food on a plate; it’s love, joy, and community. That’s why we deliver free meals prepared by local restaurants and provide a lifeline of support.
Help Culinary Care deliver 10,000 meals this year! Join The Line, our passionate community of monthly givers.
Fighting cancer takes more than one treatment. Because we can count on members of The Line, our families can count on us not just once but month-in-and-month-out until their last day of treatment.

“I never thought I’d be on the receiving end of Culinary Care, but then my mom's cancer returned. Sitting with her in chemo, I realized we had nothing to eat. My mom smiled and said, 'I ordered Culinary Care!'. It felt like an escape from the hospital and gave us something to enjoy during a difficult time.”
— Alex, member of The Line
