Emergency Contact
An emergency contact is necessary upon signup in case we are unable to reach the recipient when delivering the meal. Part of the service is a check-in program. If a recipient is not available, the emergency contact is contacted. If it is observed to be a medical crisis, we will respond with emergency services. Meals are not available on certain holidays and will be cancelled with severe weather.

A monthly letter is sent to participants or their contacts with suggested donations based on meals provided. Currently the contribution requested for the meal site and home delivered meals is $4 meal. A person will not be denied by their inability to pay that cost.
