We deliver meals and support to families fighting cancer.

Basic needs, like getting enough to eat, can get overlooked in the face of a cancer diagnosis. Going to the store, cooking, and preparing meals often become the last thing on someone’s mind. We think about food so that families fighting cancer can focus on everything else.

Culinary Care Programs

Treatment Day Meals

Hospitals do not provide meals during outpatient care. Culinary Care does. We deliver free, restaurant-prepared lunches to families during chemotherapy. Chemo days can last anywhere from 4 - 12 hours and, without our program, many families would go the day without food.

Holiday Meals

Our holiday meal program gives our highest-need families a chance to celebrate the holidays with a chef-made meal. No grocery shopping or cooking is necessary! Our meals are ready-to-heat. Our volunteers make these meals extra bright with cards and other goodies.

Care Concierge

Behind all our meals is an incredible team of caring, dedicated staff! Our patient navigators check in with our families, take orders over the phone, send meal reminders, and go the extra mile to ensure our families know they aren’t fighting alone.

Our Program Pillars

  • High-Quality Is Critical

    We have a network of restaurant partners that provide discounted and donated meals. 58% of our patients report we've increased their appetite.

  • Empthy Is Essential

    We may not have walked in our patients’ exact shoes, but we know what it’s like to fight cancer and are here to ease the burden.

  • Happy Equals Hungry

    When you’re depressed, it can cause you to eat less and exacerbates the malnutrition problem. It’s why the little things, like treats and cards, go a long way.

  • Feed Families

    We know our patients aren’t in this alone. We want their loved ones to have the strength to care for them, so our meal are for the whole family.

  • Be A Lifeline

    Whether it’s three months, three years, or the rest of their lives, our families can count on us to be there.

  • Reduce Barriers

    From building a digital application to hiring bi-lingual staff, we invest in solutions that make mealtime as easy as possible.
