experience a connection with
their inner depths. This year’s
theme is “Psyche in Transition.”

program year includes four
“Psyche and Politics” evenings.

our current political realities;

Kitchen Angels was established
to provide free, nutritious
meals to home-bound individuals
living with chronic or terminal
illness. Clients lack the
resources to consistently
provide meals for themselves;
they are physically unable to
shop and cook and have no family
members or others to provide for
their nutritional needs. Kitchen
Angel clients do not qualify for
other food programs and many
have severe dietary
restrictions. 280 volunteers
prepare and deliver healthy and
appetizing meals each weekday.
Each delivery includes the
nutritional equivalent of a
least two meals and contains a
soup or salad, an entree,
dessert or fruit, and whole
grain bread. |
