Home Delivered Meals and Groceries

Our confidential services are free of charge to individuals and their families and caregivers living throughout the Washington, D.C. metro area.

$30

1 Day of Meals for a Client

Cover the cost of food, preparation and delivery for the fundamental ingredient of Food & Friends’ service. Your gift will deliver breakfast, lunch and dinner for one day, from our kitchen to our client’s doorstep.

$180

A Week of Meal Deliveries for a Client

Food is medicine! Your gift can cover the cost of food, preparation and delivery for a full week of meals, customized for an individual client’s nutritional needs to help them get well.

$516

A Month of Meals for a Client’s Child

When we realized over 20 years ago that many of our clients were sharing their food with their children and going hungry themselves, we started sending healthy meals for the kids, too. By giving one full month of meal deliveries, you will ensure a child is fed — while their parent focuses on getting well.

$29

Healthy Snacks

We send our clients fresh fruits and vegetables to enjoy alongside their prepared meals. You can provide a week’s worth of healthy snacks like carrots, apples, bananas, and nuts to 5 clients.

$36

Fresh Produce Grocery Bag

You can help deliver groceries to clients in our bi-weekly Groceries-to-Go program — those individuals and families who live outside our freshly-prepared meals delivery area or who are able to do light meal preparation. Your gift will provide one delivery of fresh produce for 5 clients receiving groceries.

$75

Grocery Protein Pack

For clients in our Groceries-to-Go program we deliver groceries every other week. Your gift will provide healthy chicken, fish and turkey for 18 clients receiving groceries.

Safe and Sure Deliveries

Six days a week, 52 weeks a year, Food & Friends ensures that our clients never miss a meal. Our service area spans 5,346 square miles and includes all of Washington, D.C., 7 counties in Maryland and 7 counties and 6 independent cities in Virginia. Our deliveries include a friendly hello and check-in from 6 feet away.

$61

Gas for a Delivery Van

Each Food & Friends delivery van averages 370 miles a week, meaning we go through over 18 tanks of gas a week! Your gift of a tank of gas will fuel one of our vans as it transports healthy food across our region.

$90

Insulated Delivery Bags and Icepacks

Keeping meals cold and safe after they leave our kitchen is critical to our client’s health. You can give three insulated Redbag coolers outfitted with icepacks to ensure safe food deliveries.

$1,000

Tires for a Delivery Van

Our vans make deliveries across 5,346 square miles of Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia — that’s a lot of wear and tear on our tire treads! Your gift can provide a new set of tires, plus alignment, for one of our indispensable vans, making hundreds of thousands of meal deliveries possible this year.

Nutrition Counseling, Education and Enhancements

At Food & Friends, we consider nutrition to be a vital part of the treatment for our clients. Our community dietitians provide personalized nutrition counseling and meal plans to address each client’s nutritional needs.

$51

Nutritional Supplements

Some of our clients have suffered severe weight-loss or are so weak from their medical treatments that they are unable to chew solid foods. Your gift of 3 cases of nutritional supplements will provide essential nutrition to our most vulnerable clients.

$110

Nutrition Counseling Session

Food & Friends does so much more than provide meals. We also help our clients learn how to make healthy food choices to best support their treatment and recovery. You can provide a nutrition counseling session to help one of our clients learn how to eat well to be well.

$220

Virtual Nutrition Education Series

Your gift will help clients learn healthy eating tips and increase awareness that will lead to a healthier lifestyle. Featuring topics like brain health, healthy sleep patterns or ways to boost immune systems, Food & Friends’ dietitians host interactive live Zoom sessions for our clients.

Going the Extra Mile for our Clients

Often clients live alone and our delivery drivers and volunteers may be the only visitors they see, so we go the extra mile to make sure our clients have what they need to live well. Each delivery is a reminder that someone cares, providing clients with hope and comfort.
