I volunteer at Culinary Angels because I, along with other family members have experienced this terrible disease. I have seen first hand how this disease can devastate a family. Providing healthy, organic meals can give patients and their caregivers back their dignity, support to the family, reduce isolation and a vital lifeline of community support when they need it the most. By volunteering in the kitchen, I experience first hand how much energy, knowledge and care goes into each meal to fulfill the mission of Culinary Angels. By joining the Board, I feel I can expand my services to make Culinary Angels even better.
