Critical Illness Nutrition Program

The Critical Illness Nutrition program reaches out to the residents of San Diego County who are under the age of 60 who have any type of cancer that impairs their mental and/or physical capacity to prepare their own meals.

Three nutritional meals a day, for every day of the year, are prepared and delivered to our clients' homes. The program is at no cost to the client.

Referral from a Case Manager, Social Worker or Physician is required. Ongoing client contact by the referral source is required in order to recertify client eligibility for services every six (6) months.

Clients must meet the following eligibility qualifications:

Client must be mentally or physically unable to prepare meals for themselves
A current diagnosis letter identifying the type of cancer must be provided by a physician
Client must be a resident of San Diego County and under the age of 60
Client must provide documentation of current income

Since our first day of operations, we have never turned away anyone who qualifies for our services and we are determined that we never will.

Mama’s Kitchen, Inc. is a San Diego nonprofit, tax exempt 501(c)3 charity organization.
