#TeamLINK was proud to join @foodandfriends for the groundbreaking of a new project that will double their meal production capacity — from the 2.2 million medically tailored meals they already prepare each year — to meet the rapidly growing demand for this critical, life-saving care.

Kudos to Executive Director Carrie Stoltzfus and the entire Food & Friends team for this huge step forward.

As Food & Friends’ media partner, it’s an honor to help share their inspiring story and amplify the impact of their vital work caring for residents across nearly 6,000 square miles of the DMV. As they serve up a healthier future, we’ll be by their side — and we invite you to join us at the table!

[CM Christina Henderson @CMCHenderson]

As the Chair of the Committee on Health I am thrilled that we have been able to support the growth of the city’s investment in @foodandfriends , including contributing $1.5M over three years for their newly unveiled expansion and renovation.

I am excited to celebrate this next chapter for Food and Friends, which I know will ensure more District residents receive the nourishment they need to live to their full potential.

If you’d like to aid in their mission, Food and Friends is always looking for volunteers. You can sign up to receive more information at food and https://t.co/maNYWH6hKj

Food can be medicine. And we are proud to help tell the story about why that matters.

Tonight, @LINKStrategic was once again honored to sponsor @foodandfriends Chef's Best — one of Washington's most impactful nights. More than 30 of the region's top chefs are gathered with common purpose to nourish minds, bodies, and souls.

I was proud to join my colleage Jae Early on stage tonight — because this work deserves a voice, and we are grateful to be among those raising it.

Since 1988, Food & Friends has delivered nearly 33 million free, medically tailored meals to people living with cancer, HIV/AIDS, and other serious illnesses across the DC region at no cost to those they serve. Today, their staff, supported by an expansive network of passionate volunteers, deliver nearly 2 million meals a year.
