We have expanded the scope of our organization’s services to provide home-delivered meals to individuals battling chronic kidney disease! This expansion was made possible thanks to a generous $100,000 grant from the Cushman Foundation’s Making a Difference for San Diego initiative.

As many as 5,000 San Diegans are experiencing stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease, which is currently the 9th leading cause of death in the U.S. Through this expansion, neighbors at risk of malnutrition battling this disease can receive medically tailored nutrition, designed to heal, at no cost.

As we celebrate our 30th Birthday of cooking and d

As we celebrate our 30th Birthday of cooking and delivering meals to critically ill San Diegans, we reminisce on how it all began.

Established in 1990 by Laurie Leonard, a San Diego caregiver who was deeply concerned about her neighbors suffering from the AIDS epidemic, a group of volunteers was formed to cook and deliver free meals to individuals who were unable to shop for groceries or cook for themselves due to the debilitating effects of AIDS. At the height of the epidemic, when even some hospitals were turning AIDS patients away, volunteers came together to combat the stigma and ensure that those suffering were receiving one of their most basic rights – nutritious food.
.
.
By the end of our first year of service, Mama's Kitchen volunteers served 26 clients and delivered 21,486 meals. Since then, we have used our experience with AIDS nutrition to replicate our Home-Delivered Meal Service program for other critically ill populations.
.
.
Thank you for being on this journey with us!
