CUISINE FOR HEALING

CFH IS ADDRESSING THE NEED FOR ORGANIC, DELICIOUS, IMMUNE-BOOSTING MEALS AND THE NUTRITIONAL RESOURCES NEEDED BY TARRANT COUNTY RESIDENTS ON ALL 41 MUNICIPALITIES IN TARRANT COUNTY'S 902 SQUARE MILES, WHO ARE BATTLING LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESSES. MEALS, INGREDIENTS, AND NUTRITIONAL VALUES ARE CONTINUALLY REVIEWED AND RESEARCHED FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH. MEALS AND PACKAGING DO NOT INVOLVE METHODS OR MATERIALS SCIENTIFICALLY LINKED WITH SERIOUS ILLNESSES. SEASONAL MENUS OFFER EXTENSIVE CHOICES, INCLUDING BREAKFAST, ENTREES, SNACKS, SIDES AND DESSERTS, ALONG WITH VEGETARIAN, GLUTEN AND DAIRY-FREE OPTIONS. MEDICALLY REFERRED, LOW-INCOME CLIENTS RECEIVE UP TO 10 NUTRITIOUS MEALS PER WEEK, FREE FOR 6 TO 18 WEEKS. THESE CLIENTS ARE COMBATING CANCER AND OTHER LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESSES, INCLUDING ALZHEIMER'S, DIABETES, AND HEART DISEASE, AND UNDERGOING MEDICAL TREATMENTS. MANY SURVIVE ON DISABILITY OR SSI, AND/OR ARE UNINSURED. MEALS ARE DELIVERED WEEKLY THROUGHOUT TARRANT COUNTY. CUISINE'S VOLUNTEERS DROVE MORE THAN 37,000 MILES IN 2024 AND DONATED OVER 1,600 HOURS. WE SERVED MORE THAN 26,133 MEALS IN 2024 WHICH WAS AN INCREASE OF 5,152 OVER 2023, AND MORE THAN A 10,000 MEAL INCREASE OVER 2022. BECAUSE LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESSES KNOW NO INCOME BOUNDARIES, THE SAME NUTRITIOUS, DELICIOUS MEALS ARE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC PURCHASE AT A REASONABLE PRICE AND FREE DELIVERY. ALL RECIPES AND INGREDIENTS ARE BASED ON CFH'S STRICT GUIDELINES FOR HEALTHY INGREDIENTS, PREPARATION, AND PACKAGING. ALL PROCEEDS FROM PURCHASING CLIENTS SUPPORT MEALS FOR CFH'S LOW-INCOME, MEDICALLY REFERRED CLIENTS. MOST OF OUR REFERRED CLIENTS AND 80 PERCENT OF OUR PURCHASING CLIENTS ARE TOO SICK TO SHOP, COOK, OR PREPARE FOOD FOR THEMSELVES. THIS IS THE FOUNDATION OF OUR COMMITMENT TO OFFER THE MOST REASONABLE PRICED MEALS, DESPITE THE INCREASING COST OF ORGANIC INGREDIENTS AND PACKAGING. AS OF THE END OF 2024, CFH HAD SERVED 183,782 MEALS TO PEOPLE IN TARRANT COUNTY BATTLING LIFE-THREATENING DISEASES SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2010, WITH MORE THAN HALF OF THOSE SERVED IN THE LAST 5 YEARS.
