March Ensure Campaign:
Currently, Open Arms prepares and delivers free nutritious meals to 519 clients who are living with a progressive or chronic disease. The majority of our clients are able to maintain their health and weight with the support of our weekly deliveries of nutritious made-from-scratch meals.
But sometimes that’s not enough.
Monthly, we send out over 35 cases (840 cans) of Ensure, a complete, balanced nutritional supplement shake that is helpful in gaining or maintaining weight – weight that is critical to some clients who, at certain stages of their illness, are having difficulty with solid foods.
At that point, upon the recommendation from their doctor, these clients receive an Ensure variety that fits their nutritional needs; Regular, a good fortifier; Plus, with 24 vitamins/minerals and 350 calories; or High Protein, with 12 grams of high-quality protein.
We send out 2,500 cans of Ensure every three months. Join our March Ensure Campaign to underwrite our next three-month supply.
