My Story…
I’m so excited to be running the Falmouth Road Race on August 17th in support of Community Servings. It's a 7-mile course, my longest race yet, and I have been training hard to reach this new goal. Community Servings is an incredible organization that works closely with clinicians to plan, prepare and deliver over 1.2 million medically tailored meals (MTMs) to over 7,000 people annually, throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island, who are impacted by critical illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, HIV/AIDS and high-risk pregnancies. In doing so, they give people access to healthy, nutritious meals that are specifically tailored to improve their health outcomes, along with reduce hunger, improve quality of life and improve mental health, not to mention the long term impact MTM's can have on reducing overall health care costs among other benefits. I've helped assemble these meals first hand at the Community Servings kitchen and distribution center and can attest to the quality of their operations and services.
Imagine having prepared, pre-cooked, meals available to you and/or your family during a vulnerable period of illness and recovery. As a mom of 6 year old twins, and a maternal sepsis survivor, I can only imagine the impact this program could have made on my own recovery. I am running to help make as many meals available to as many people as possible. I hope you will join me in supporting the work of Community Servings.
Description
COMMUNITY SERVINGS BELIEVES IN THE ASTONISHING POWER OF FOOD
Community Servings is a food and nutrition non-profit dedicated to providing medically tailored meals to individuals and their families suffering from critical and chronic illness. In their 35-year history they have provided over 14 million meals to our most vulnerable neighbors across Massachusetts and Rhode Island. I am proud to partner with them and the Falmouth Road Race to raise funds and help to advance their mission and feed even more people too sick to shop or cook for themselves.
Community Servings' mission:
"Our mission is to actively engage the community to provide medically tailored, nutritious, scratch-made meals to chronically and critically ill individuals and their families. We commit, in all our programs and business practices, to prioritize racial and economic justice and health equity."
