🚗 Huge thanks to Darling's Auto and their amazing customers! For another year, you have supported our fulfillment site. This is a critical space where food safety and access come together, helping us pack thousands of medically tailored groceries and fresh produce prescriptions. Because of your incredible support, our mainly volunteer team can pack, store, and deliver these healthy meals starting on day one of a patient’s cancer treatment. 💙

We’re proud to support the incredible work of the Christine B. Foundation.

This marks our second year partnering on the Darling’s Auto Fulfillment Center, and this presentation also includes a pledge made at the June 22nd Dinner with Christine B. event.
