Behind every number is a person — like Joan-Mary, 69. Project Angel Food serves more than 7,200 seriously ill people each year, and like Joan-Mary, 32% live with severe diabetes. Referred urgently by her physician in 2023, she lives alone, battles complex health issues, and began our service malnourished with an A1C of 8.8. Now she receives diabetes-friendly, medically tailored meals and fresh fruit that she turns into green smoothies to keep food down and rebuild her strength. Our registered dietitians match each client to a plan for their specific illness — no added preservatives, just an extra dash of care — and Joan-Mary's numbers are coming down as she gets the nutrition she needs and regains stability. For someone who says there is "very little caring" in her life, each delivery is both nourishment and comfort: a reminder that she is seen, lifted, and not alone.
