From guide to client to friend

“The meals [have] saved me from worrying about grocery shopping,”

For Christine*, opening her door to receive a bit of help led to nutritious meals, greater peace of mind and new friendships.

Christine knew about FeedMore’s Home-Delivered Meals program because her mother enrolled in the program several years ago. Now, Christine needs support with daily meals after a decades-long eye health complication left her completely without sight at 58 years old.

Christine spent years helping others learn to manage their impaired vision, until she lost her own entirely. She still manages her household with confidence, including mail, banking, correspondence and tidying up. But grocery shopping and getting meals on the table became stressful. So she reached out to FeedMore WNY.

When she signed up for meal delivery, Christine never imagined the service would also bring new friends to her door, but that’s exactly what happened. Christine found friends among the volunteers who dedicate their time to delivering her meals. She can tell you which volunteer delivers on what day and how she has come to know and care about each one.
