Friendship Trays

Friendship Trays delivers more than 700 meals daily to elderly, handicapped, and convalescing people who are unable or greatly restricted in their ability to prepare or secure meals and who reside within the area we can reach with our corps of drivers. Deliveries are at the lunch hour but the meal is a full one, more like what many people are accustomed to for dinner. This meal consists of two separate containers, one with meat or fish, vegetable and such, the other with carbohydrate, salad or fruit, and dessert. Diet orders are obtained for all clients from their doctors, and a range of special diets are available to fill doctors' written orders for certain medical conditions. While all recipients are asked to pay for their meals based on their ability to pay, recipient income alone does not pay for Friendship Trays. Sponsors include approximately 80 faith-based communities and organizations, as well as civic organizations and businesses. Other groups welcome donations of time as volunteers or as donors of the financial resources that allow us to serve all who need nutritious meals.
