Emergency Response Fund

Sycuan Casino Resort Emergency Respond Fund $25,000 Match Challenge

 

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be part of our daily lives and as cases continue to rise, Mama’s Kitchen is delivering more meals than ever. Since March, we have seen a 65% increase in demand for our Home-Delivered Meal Service. Our clients are critically ill and most at risk of the potential devastating effects of COVID-19. Our services are essential to help keep them safe.

 

In response to this growing need, Sycuan Casino Resort has partnered with Mama’s Kitchen to MATCH all donations dollar-for-dollar up to $25,000! Thanks to their generosity, between July 1 through August 31, your contribution towards our Emergency Response Fund will have TWICE the impact for individuals and families battling HIV, cancer, congestive heart failure and type 2 diabetes.

 

This generous match comes just in time for our critically ill neighbors who are being referred to Mama’s Kitchen so they can remain safe and focus on their health throughout this crisis.

 

 

Clients like Rebeka, who shared how she felt after receiving her first meal delivery in April:

“It’s hard to put my gratitude into words. Battling heart disease has been tough enough since my partner passed, but then COVID hit and I became so isolated. I was so fearful of even going to the store. When my doctor referred me to Mama’s Kitchen I was hopeful. After the first volunteer dropped off the delicious food, I was in tears. There is so much chaos in the world right now; to know there are people who care about me and my health is incredible.”

 

With an increase in demand, comes increased costs to care for those in need. Mama’s Kitchen’s goal is to raise $450,000 to cover the increase in expenses due to the pandemic. As of July 1, Mama’s Kitchen has raised $361,021 through its Emergency Response Fund. Will you consider a donation to be MATCHED to help us reach the $450,000 goal and help to keep up with increased demand?

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. 🎉
