We’ll make it easy to get the nutrition you need: To qualify for Open Arms’ meal delivery service, you need to be diagnosed with a life-threatening illness such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis, ALS, COPD, ESRD or CHF AND one of the following: either physically unable to shop or cook for yourself OR have a compromised nutritional status. You must live in the Twin Cities metropolitan area to receive meal delivery service. We do not qualify individuals based on income status.
A signature from your medical provider, case manager or social worker is required. After we receive your completed application form, we will assess your eligibility and a member of our staff will contact you to determine your nutrition needs and to arrange meal deliveries that fit your schedule.
