Mission Statement
Our vision is for all Coloradans living with severe illness to have access to nutritious food that supports their health and well-being. To that end, our mission is to compassionately deliver comfort and support through high-quality nutrition services, including medically tailored meals, while also advocating for the principles of “Food is Medicine.
About This Cause
Project Angel Heart was founded more than 30 years ago to address a major challenge for Coloradans who are severely ill: getting the nutrition they need to get stronger, heal, and remain at home. Many are too sick to get to the grocery store and unable to cook for themselves. Others find they have to choose whether to buy food or medication to make ends meet. That’s why Project Angel Heart prepares and delivers medically tailored meals to people living with cancer, kidney/heart/lung disease, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer’s, and other severe illnesses. Each week, our professional chefs and registered dietitians prepare thousands of delicious meals from scratch, and tailor them to meet the specific medical and dietary needs of those who are ill. Volunteers help us package and deliver each meal at no cost to our clients. We currently home deliver meals across 1,650 square miles of Colorado, including metro Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo. The results? Project Angel Heart’s meal recipients report better health, less stress, and more energy. They’re better able to afford their health care and adhere to their prescribed health care regimen. And it’s easier for them to live independently in their homes. Research also shows that many Project Angel Heart meal recipients have lower health care costs and hospital readmission rates. Our mission is only made possible by the generous support of our community.
