David’s story

“That someone actually cares about someone with cancer, and they want to give you something you don’t have to worry about begging for.”

For David, the meal mattered. So did knowing someone had thought about him, made something for him, and wanted him to feel cared for.

Follow one lunch

How David, and patients like him, find Culinary Care.

  1. It’s the first day of chemo.

    A long day at the infusion center often starts with a long commute.

  2. Lunchtime rolls around.

    David asks the nurse what’s for lunch, only to find out nothing is provided. David doesn’t have the money to buy something onsite.

  3. The referral.

    Your generosity steps in. The nurse refers him to Culinary Care.

  4. Lunch shows up every time.

    David never has to worry about going hungry during chemo again because we’re there with lunch.
