Dear Friends,

It was almost one year ago when I was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer. The challenges I have faced are enormous and thank goodness Open Arms supported my family and me during the most difficult times and continues to do so. While I still continue to fight breast cancer, it is comforting to know that I am not alone in this battle. The nutritious meals prepared by Open Arms are helping me develop a strong body, one that can fight off the cancer.  The kindness and support my family receives from friends of Open Arms is greatly appreciated.

I wanted to thank you for many things, starting with my delicious birthday cake! Also, please know how much I appreciate the varied and nutritious meals. Again, thank you to all who plan, prepare, assemble and deliver.

It’s amazing that we have food for all week for all of us.  It’s been just amazing.  Thank you so much.

I nearly cried when the delivery came.  I’m so grateful.  I’ve been so tired; it usually takes an hour and a half to get the cooking done.  Now, it’s like I can live a little more.

I am very happy with the service. I love the volunteers; they are always so cheerful no matter what I look like when I come to the door.

Just let me say thank you all.  These meals have been a wonderful help since my MS doesn’t allow me to cook much and doesn’t leave me a great deal of grocery $.

You are the best service in town and have great delivery people. Without your food I would not be able to eat because my income is so low!

My deepest thanx. We are in serious financial jeopardy right now. Your meals keep us healthy.

I am very grateful for all of the people who assist with meal deliveries and preparation of meals because lately I have been feeling very weak.

The staff and volunteers are always friendly and are very concerned about everyone they deliver to. It means a lot when other people care and know you, not just a name on a bag. Thanks.
