A Look at Our Deliveries and Meals

Open Arms takes pride in delivering delicious and nutritious meals to our clients. All of our meals are made in the Open Arms' kitchen by our staff cooks and volunteers. Our Food Services Director, Cooks and nutritionist plan the menus to provide clients with 1,350 calories and 75% of an individual's daily nutritional needs (RDA) for 5 days each week.

Meals are delivered to our clients once each week. Volunteers deliver the meals between 11am and 1pm, Monday to Friday. With the help of Client Services staff, each person can choose their delivery day. Once you've set your schedule, food will arrive at your home on the same day each week.

Weekly deliveries are beneficial to our clients. Weekly delivery provides the client with more freedom, only have to be home one day per week to receive delivery. It also gives the client the opportunity to choose when to use the food, and which meal to eat. Daily deliveries may be requested when storage space for a weekly delivery is not possible.

Each weekly delivery typically includes:

• 5 frozen entrées*
• 5 pieces of fruit
• 3 cups of soup
• 5 homemade desserts
• 2 sandwiches
• 3 salads
• ½ gallon of milk
• Cereal (every other week)
• Juice concentrate (every other week)
• Yogurt
• Pancakes or Waffles
• Breakfast eggs
• A snack item

*We now offer four different entrée options. Each option may be tailored to fit your personal dietary needs such as food allergies or religious beliefs.

• Standard Entrées
• Mild Entrées - a mild, yet flavorful option for people having trouble with taste changes, nausea and acidic foods
• Soft Entrées - entrées are easier to eat for people who have difficulty with chewing or swallowing
• African Style Entrées - a variety of cuisine prepared specially for African-born clients
• Kid-Friendly Entrees - comfort food that kids will enjoy, and it's healthy, too.
