FOOD IS MEDICINE
Healthy Food Initiatives
We’ve transitioned from working through third-party vendors to preparing and delivering meals directly through our nonprofit, W.A.G.E., ensuring complete control over quality and freshness. By cutting out the middleman, we’re able to uphold our commitment to quality over quantity — something I’ve always believed in.
Food insecurity and economic hardship are deeply personal issues for us. Through W.A.G.E., we proudly deliver thousands of fresh, home-cooked meals each week to seniors right at their doorsteps. We understand that nutritious food isn’t just about sustenance — it’s a key part of healing and living well.
​
At the heart of our mission is the belief that food is medicine. The meals we create are designed not only to taste good but to nourish the body and support specific health needs. That belief was strengthened when we witnessed untouched boxes of frozen meals left on the streets of Philadelphia — a clear sign that what's being offered isn’t always what’s needed. Our approach prioritizes fresh, flavorful, medically tailored meals that make a real difference in our community’s well-being.
