Kitchen Angels serves residents of Santa Fe and other Northern New Mexico communities who are homebound, experiencing a health crisis, lack the resources for regular meals, and are ineligible for other local meal services.
No one in our community who is homebound because of a chronic, surgery-related, or terminal medical condition should ever go without appropriate nutrition. Making sure those in need have enough to eat is simply the right thing to do.
Kitchen Angels prepares and delivers free, nutritious meals to Northern New Mexican who are homebound and facing life challenging illnesses and medical conditions.
More About Kitchen Angels
Ink 9, ShapeFor many years during the Holidays Kitchen Angels has provided Holiday Gift Bags to our 200+ home bound clients. We invite Corporate Groups and individuals to wrap gifts for the clients. Gifts include such items as lotion, soap, fuzzy slippers, Kleenex, coffee, tea, puzzle books, tea towels and quilted placemats. Often, this is the only Holiday gift our home bound clients may receive.
How You Can Help
We are a volunteer driven organization and always looking for volunteers. Not just through the Holidays, but year round. We need volunteers to prepare food in our commercial kitchen and the biggest need is delivery drivers. We ask volunteer drivers to deliver one route per week. That route consists of 5 – 10 clients per route, which take about 1 hour.
Our biggest expense is food and our services are free. Donations go to the purchase of food from local purveyors. We prepare fresh, nutritious medically mandated meals daily in our commercial kitchen. We deliver fresh meals Monday – Friday and frozen meals for the weekend. Our home bound client list is progressively increasing and the cost of food has risen 30% this year.
