Our Mission

The mission of God’s Love We Deliver is to improve the health and well-being of people living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other serious illnesses by alleviating hunger and malnutrition. We prepare and deliver nutritious, high-quality meals to people who, because of their illness, are unable to provide or prepare meals for themselves. We also provide illness-specific nutrition education and counseling to our clients, families, care providers and other service organizations.

All of our services are provided free to clients without regard to income.

God’s Love We Deliver is a non-sectarian organization.

Celebrating 35 Years of Serving NYC's Most Vulnerable

Published on Dec 30, 2020

God's Love began as an AIDS services organization in 1985, when our founder, Ganga Stone, delivered a meal to a man dying from AIDS. Although we have expanded our mission beyond HIV/AIDS, for more than 35 years we have kept our earliest commitment to helping those who are too sick to shop or cook for themselves. The novel coronavirus turned all our lives upside down, but it did not stop us. Thanks to the tireless efforts and extraordinary generosity of our volunteers, staff, and community we hit an all-time high, cooking and home-delivering more than 2.3 million meals to nearly 10,000 individuals. For our clients and their families, Food is Medicine, and Food is Love. Thank you for helping God’s Love be a gift to thousands of New Yorkers each year.

Food is Medicine. Food is Love.

History

Our Community

Volunteers

Without the help of our volunteers — more than 17,000 strong every year — we simply would not be able to cook and deliver over 10,000 delicious and nutritious meals each weekday to our neighbors in need. Outnumbering our staff by a ratio of more than 100 to 1, volunteers work in the kitchen, deliver meals and work in meal packaging, work in our office and help out with special events.

Golden Heart Society

Members of the Golden Heart Society provide critical program support helping to ensure that no person faces the dual crises of hunger and severe illness.

Legacy Society

Planned Gifts provide the resources that create extraordinary opportunities and will help God's Love We Deliver in the future. Generous individuals who include God's Love in their estate plans are invited to join our Legacy Society.

Corporations & Foundations

God's Love We Deliver receives financial support from corporations and foundations, both local and national. Grants from foundation and corporate supporters comprise 18% of our annual budget. God's Love is fortunate to count more than 200 corporate and foundation friends among our committed donors.

Kitchen Table

Monthly donations provide donors with an easy, affordable way to support God’s Love, while ensuring a steady source of good nutrition, hope and dignity for the men, women and families who depend on our meals.
God’s Love recognizes the sustained commitment and loyalty of our monthly donors through membership in our Kitchen Cabinet.
