Diet matters as you recover
It is our belief that an organic, plant-based diet is an integral part of a cancer patients’ journey to recovery. Consuming functional foods feeds your immune system and supports the defense mechanisms that protect your body from infections and disease. Our SoupMeals are designed to give clients a full spectrum of nutrients in order to help avoid malnutrition, and aid the restoration of your immune system, from the first spoonful.
We've served over 15,000 patients and delivered over 1,000,000 bowls of soup... and counting!
Many diagnosed with cancer or a chronic illness suffer from mobility problems that limit their abilities to shop or cook. Coupled with medical treatments and food insecurity risks, this creates a threat of isolation, which affects more than 8 million adults over the age of 50. Our weekly Delivery Service Program provides an outlet for our low-income clients to thrive in their independence at home. Our team of drivers provide nutritious Soup Meals and a kind, compassionate face directly to our clients’ doors. This vital weekly check-in breaks the cycle of social isolation, and 98% of our repeat clients have reported the elimination of food insecurity during treatment.
“OSK provides their delicious, organic Soup Meals to my elderly mother who has difficulty leaving the house. The volunteers deliver soup to my mom’s house each week—sometimes, they bring beautiful produce or flowers that are surplus from the Farmer’s Market. The Soup Meals are made with love and care, nourishing the spirit as well as the body. Thank you, OSK and team, for all you are doing to foster the health and security of our most vulnerable citizens.”
