Nutrition

The Nutrition Services Department at God’s Love We Deliver seeks to improve the health and well-being of people with serious illnesses who are unable to prepare meals for themselves by providing high-quality meals and nutrition education. From the development of our therapeutic menus, to nutrition counseling and to the safe delivery of our client meals, we see the power of food as medicine and understand the significance of proper nutrition.

If you are new to our program, we invite you to watch our new client webinar in English and Spanish, where you’ll learn about God’s Love We Deliver, how our program works, how to safely store your meals, and the importance of good nutrition.
