Hello!
I am happy to announce that I recently started cooking for a cancer patient with throat cancer. I enjoyed the challenge of creating a yummy menu that was nutritious and took into consideration his textural needs. I was wondering if there was an organization that did home deliveries for cancer patients? I am interesting in doing more of this work. It fills my heart with joy.
I have a BS in nutrition and have worked as a free lancer for a number of years in many other home visit capacities. I realize this site is set up to address the needs of cancer patients. I hope you might be able to set me in the right direction.
Blessings

Hi Esme,
That's wonderful! I know that there are many local Meals On Wheels (http://www.mowaa.org/) that deliver meals to cancer patients. Your local American Cancer Society branch should also have a list of organizations in the area that provide similar services.
Based on your background and recent experience, I think you might find the organization Cook for Your Life (http://www.cookforyourlife.org/) interesting. They teach healthy cooking to people touched by cancer.
Best,
Sarah, Cancer and Careers Program Coordinator
