Food

When one is ill or down on their luck, one of the biggest worries in their lives is eating. So today I am donating to Mama's Kitchen, a local charity who provides food for those affected by AIDS or cancer. I like this organization because they may be local, but they are not a small organization, they have over 600 volunteers. Their effort touch thousands of people throughout the year. I also like that they worry about providing good quality homemade nutritious food for the ill. Not having to worry about what they are going to eat must be a huge relief for those who are so sick.

Mama's Kitchen

"At Mama’s Kitchen we believe that every person is entitled to the basic necessity of life - nutritious food. As a volunteer-driven, nonprofit organization, we prepare and deliver food to men, women and children who are affected by AIDS or cancer.

Mama's Kitchen delivers three nutritional meals a day, seven days a week at no charge to men, women and children living with AIDS or cancer. Additionally, Mama's Kitchen provides pantry services (Mama's Pantry) to people affected by AIDS. Through these services, we are able to provide food, compassion and hope to over 1,500 people annually living throughout San Diego County."

Here is their charity navigator score. :-)

Oh, this week I decided to focus on local organizations in San Diego. Yesterday was the AIDS walk and today was Mama's Kitchen, if you have a favorite charity in San Diego, let me know. :-)
