We do not take it lightly that 40% of all food in the United States is wasted. That's why we are excited to announce our new partnership with Stop Food Waste, a project of @stopwaste.org! Using our YouTube Nutrition Kitchen channel, Project Open Hand will develop recipe videos that focus on reducing food waste and making the most of a meal. Learn more: https://ow.ly/PKaQ50SZOJj

Providing nutritious meals to the sick and vulnerable in our Bay Area community.
Über uns
Project Open Hand’s mission is to improve health outcomes and quality of life by providing nutritious meals to the sick and vulnerable, caring for and educating our community. Every day, we prepare 2,500 nutritious meals and provide 200 bags of healthy groceries to help sustain our clients as they battle serious illnesses, isolation, or the health challenges of aging. We serve San Francisco and Oakland, engaging more than 125 volunteers. Every day, thousands of people in the Bay Area are battling serious, life-threatening illnesses. And every day, Project Open Hand is there for them – providing healthy, nourishing meals with love. Accessing healthy food is critical for people who are too sick or frail to shop and cook for themselves. We also provide hot, nutritious meals for seniors to help them tackle the health challenges of old age. Good nutrition enables our clients to better manage the symptoms of disease, mitigate the side effects of treatment, and can speed recovery. Our registered dietitian supports and counsels our clients to help them feel better by eating right. In addition to providing life-sustaining food to our clients, Project Open Hand nourishes our entire community by engaging thousands of volunteers and donors, as well as dozens of local companies, in the important work of feeding neighbors in need.

Project Open Hand reposted this
The body of evidence supporting the health benefits of a plant-forward and plant-based diet continues to grow, it's not something that we should ignore. In this recent publication from the Lancet, the study showed that "Greater consumption of each of the three types of meat was associated with increased incidence of type 2 diabetes". Unfortunately, for many Americans, plant-based complete meals are often not readily available or part of one's regular diet. At Project Open Hand, we continue to innovate our meals and now have the ability to provide plant-based medically tailored meals, all cooked form scratch without preservatives for our clients with various chronic health conditions.

We are so grateful to Chef’s Lounge for their recent donation to Project Open Hand. For the last 17 years, this Bay Area culinary community has come together to donate regularly to support our nutritious meals with love. On July 8th, they celebrated their 17th Anniversary, and all raffle and silent auction donations from that event were donated to Project Open Hand. Congratulations to Chef’s Lounge on your anniversary, and thank you for your continued support! Pictured here is Project Open Hand’s VP of Fund-Development and Community Affairs, Alberto, receiving a donation from Chef’s Lounge’s Todd and Chef Neil.
