Never know when you might run across someone who could benefit from these programs.

I just want to put a shout out for Moms meals. They mention this company in the article. We order those for my mother because shes getting too old to cook and they offer specialty diets. So, if you need low sodium or some other type of restricted diet, you may find it there. Most meal
Services dont offer anything like that.
And, my Mom actually likes the food. Which is a shocker.
