SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT 🚚🎉❤️

Today, Mama’s Kitchen celebrates the delivery of our 10 millionth meal served since our founding in 1990! Joining our commemoration was San Diego Mayor @toddgloria and Mama's Kitchen CEO Alberto Cortés. The two delivered the milestone meal to Jimmy, a Mama's Kitchen client since 2019. ❤️

The 10 millionth meal milestone has been reached sooner than expected due to the overall 50% increase in demand for our services as a result of the COVID-19 health crisis. Currently, approximately 11,000 medically tailored meals are delivered each week by volunteers to critically ill community members all across San Diego County. Mama’s Kitchen has delivered more than  695,360 meals to 2,000 critically ill San Diegans since the COVID-19 pandemic began. We are grateful to continue the work of bringing healing nutrition to people battling HIV, cancer, diabetes, congestive heart failure, and chronic kidney disease, through the consistent support of our volunteers, donors, community partners, and elected officials like you. It is through your support and advocacy that we have been able to serve thousands of San Diegans in need since 1990.

Join the celebration by sharing a memory or message of congratulation or celebration on Instagram, Facebook & Twitter. Remember to tag us and use #10millionmeals. 🎉
