VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF COOK AND DELIVER NUTRITIOUS MEALS, FREE OF CHARGE, TO HOMES THROUGHOUT LOS ANGELES COUNTY TO ALLEVIATE HUNGER, PREVENT MALNUTRITION, AND RETURN THEIR CLIENTS TO HEALTH.PROJECT ANGEL FOOD IS UNIQUE: THEY ARE THE ONLY ORGANIZATION THAT DELIVERS FRESHLY COOKED, NUTRITIOUSLY-APPROPRIATE MEALS, FREE-OF-CHARGE, TO MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN DEBILITATED BY LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESSES THROUGHOUT ALL OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY.DURING FISCAL YEAR 2017, PROJECT ANGEL FOOD (THE ORGANIZATION) CONTINUED TO PROVIDE LIFESAVING MEALS TO THE SERIOUSLY ILL THROUGHOUT LOS ANGELES COUNTY. WITH THE RELIABLE COMMITMENT OF MORE THAN 3,100 ACTIVE VOLUNTEERS, WHO PROVIDED MORE THAN 35,000 HOURS OF SERVICE, PROJECT ANGEL FOOD COOKED AND DELIVERED 567,116 MEALS.DURING FISCAL YEAR 2017, THE ORGANIZATION ALSO CONTINUED ITS IMPORTANT PROGRAM OF COMMUNITY GARDEN PARTNERSHIPS, WHEREBY PROJECT ANGEL FOOD GROWS SOME OF ITS OWN FRESH, ORGANIC PRODUCE FOR THEIR LIFE-SAVING MEALS IN COMMUNITY GARDENS AND GARDENS DEDICATED SOLELY TO THE ORGANIZATION'S WORK. SINCE THE COMMUNITY GARDEN PARTNERSHIPS' INCEPTION, THE ORGANIZATION HAS HARVESTED MORE THAN 4,000 POUNDS OF FRESH PRODUCE. OVER TIME, THIS PROGRAM HAS HAD A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE QUALITY OF THE MEALS PROVIDED AND IN THE ORGANIZATION'S EXPENSES.PROJECT ANGEL FOOD WORK - SIX DAYS A WEEK, VOLUNTEERS ARRIVE AT PROJECT ANGEL FOOD'S KITCHEN AT 8 AM TO BEGIN A DAY OF COOKING AND PACKING 1,200 MEALS THAT HAVE BEEN DESIGNED BY AN ON-STAFF REGISTERED DIETICIAN TO ADDRESS THE NUTRITIONAL AND PHYSICAL NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE PROJECT ANGEL FOOD SERVES. ONCE THE MEALS ARE COOKED, "PLATED AND SEALED, THEY MOVE TO DISPATCH. MEALS ARE DIVIDED INTO ROUTES THAT SERVE ALL OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY - FROM LANCASTER TO LONG BEACH AND POMONA TO THE WEST VALLEY.PROJECT ANGEL FOOD'S PROFESSIONAL STAFF OF REGISTERED DIETICIANS, CERTIFIED BY THE AMERICAN DIETETIC ASSOCIATION, IS SPECIALIZED IN NUTRITION AND DISEASE. FOR EXAMPLE, THEY UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE UNDERGOING CHEMOTHERAPY OFTEN HAVE NO INTEREST IN EATING AND THAT EVERY BITE MUST BE NUTRITIONALLY POWERFUL. THEREFORE, PROJECT ANGEL FOOD PURCHASES FOOD WITH A HIGH PROTEIN COUNT, SERVES IMPACTFUL VEGETABLES LIKE BROCCOLI AND SPINACH, AND MAKES SURE THAT DESSERTS ARE NUTRITIONALLY VALUABLE SUCH AS APPLES AND ORANGES.PROJECT ANGEL FOOD'S MEALS ALSO HELP MANAGE A RANGE OF SECONDARY MEDICAL CONDITIONS LIKE HYPERTENSION, HEART DISEASE, AND LOW BODY WEIGHT THAT CAN BE BROUGHT ON BY POOR NUTRITION, THE STRESSES OF A LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESS AND ITS OFTEN GRUELING TREATMENTS. THEY ALSO TAKE GREAT CARE TO ENSURE THEIR MEALS ARE BOTH DELICIOUS AND VISUALLY APPEALING - TWO VERY IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS WHEN FEEDING PEOPLE FACING LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESSES AND THE DEPRESSION THAT OFTEN ACCOMPANIES IT.PROJECT ANGEL FOOD'S BREAKFAST - CRITICAL FIRST MEAL PROGRAM, WHICH SUPPLEMENTS THEIR REGULAR MEAL DELIVERY, IS AIMED AT THEIR MOST VULNERABLE CLIENTS: THOSE WITH SO FEW RESOURCES THAT THEY RELY EXCLUSIVELY ON PROJECT ANGEL FOOD FOR THEIR FOOD NEEDS. PROJECT ANGEL FOOD KNOWS THAT THE ADDITIONAL BREAKFAST MEAL HAS A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THEIR CLIENTS' WELL-BEING BY PROVIDING CRUCIAL CALORIES AND NUTRIENTS AND REDUCING THE LEVEL OF FOOD INSECURITY. BREAKFAST IS ALSO VITAL BECAUSE MANY OF THEIR CLIENTS TAKE MORNING MEDICATIONS AND THEY NO LONGER HAVE TO DO SO ON AN EMPTY STOMACH (OR WORSE, DELAY THEIR MEDICATIONS UNTIL THEIR MIDDAY MEAL ARRIVES).PROJECT ANGEL FOOD ALSO EMPOWERS CLIENTS TO MAKE HEALTHIER, MORE INFORMED EATING CHOICES OVERALL. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, EACH CLIENT SPEAKS WITH A REGISTERED DIETICIAN AT REGULAR INTERVALS. FOR EXAMPLE, A CLIENT WITH SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATIONS IN HIS/HER HEALTH MAY SPEAK MONTHLY WITH A DIETICIAN, WHEREAS SOMEONE WITH A MORE CONSISTENT MEDICAL SCENARIO MIGHT ONLY NEED TO CHECK IN ONCE OR TWICE PER YEAR. DURING THESE NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING SESSIONS, CLIENTS LEARN ABOUT THE COMPLEX INTERRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THEIR DIET, EXERCISE AND LIFESTYLE PATTERNS, DISEASE STATUS, MEDICATION AND GENERAL HEALTH.THE ORGANIZATION UNDERSTANDS THE MANY ROLES IT PLAYS IN PEOPLE'S RECOVERY FROM, OR STABILIZATION WITH, A LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESS. FOR EXAMPLE, ILLNESS CAN BE ISOLATING AND THE PROJECT ANGEL FOOD DELIVERY DRIVER CAN TOO OFTEN BE THE ONLY HUMAN INTERACTION A CLIENT HAS IN HIS/HER HOMEBOUND DAY. WITH THIS IN MIND, PROJECT ANGEL FOOD ALSO DELIVERS BIRTHDAY BAGS ON EACH PERSON'S SPECIAL DAY, FILLED WITH UTILITARIAN ITEMS AND SPECIAL TREATS; THE GIFT BAGS ARE DECORATED BY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN. NATIONAL HOLIDAYS ARE ALSO RECOGNIZED WITH SPECIAL DESSERTS OR SMALL GIFTS.THE PEOPLE PROJECT ANGEL FOOD SERVES - PROJECT ANGEL FOOD PROUDLY SERVES ANY MAN, WOMAN, OR CHILD STRUGGLING WITH HIV/AIDS, CANCER, OR OTHER LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESS RENDERING THEM TOO WEAK TO SHOP FOR GROCERIES OR COOK THEIR OWN MEALS. CLIENTS RANGE IN AGE FROM 20 TO 107 YEARS OLD. PROJECT ANGEL FOOD SERVES ALL OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY AND THEIR CLIENT POPULATION REFLECTS ITS DIVERSITY: DURING 2017, 79% OF THEIR CLIENTS ARE PEOPLE OF COLOR; THEY SERVE MANY WOMEN (WHICH ARE 43% OF THEIR CLIENTS DURING 2017); AND THEY HONOR PEOPLE OF ALL SEXUAL ORIENTATIONS. THE LIVES OF THE 2,303 UNDUPLICATED PEOPLE PROJECT ANGEL FOOD SERVES IN A GIVEN YEAR HAVE TAKEN A DIFFICULT TURN DUE TO THE RAVAGES OF HIV/AIDS, CANCER AND OTHER LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESSES. THESE INCLUDE A 30-YEAR-OLD CLIENT LIVING WITH HIV AND COLON CANCER; WHILE HE IS UNDERGOING BOTH CHEMO AND RADIATION, THE WEEKLY MEALS FROM PROJECT ANGEL FOOD ENABLE HIM TO KEEP HIS WEIGHT UP AND RELIEVE THE STRESS OF WORRYING ABOUT HOW TO EAT HEALTHY DURING CANCER TREATMENTS. THE ORGANIZATION HAS A 72-YEAR-OLD CLIENT LIVING WITH CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE AND COPD. SHE IS ON 24-HOUR OXYGEN AND HAS MOBILITY ISSUES GETTING AROUND. BECAUSE OF THE MEALS FROM PROJECT ANGEL FOOD, SHE KNOWS SHE CAN COUNT ON ALWAYS HAVING HEALTHY, NUTRITIOUS MEALS ON HAND. THERE ARE MANY, MANY OTHERS. THE MAJORITY OF PROJECT ANGEL FOOD'S CLIENTS ARE EVERYDAY PEOPLE WHO LED PRODUCTIVE LIVES AND CAREERS PRIOR TO THEIR DISABILITY FROM LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESS. THE ANNUAL PROJECT ANGEL FOOD CLIENT SURVEY REVEALS A WIDE RANGE OF OCCUPATIONS HELD BY CLIENTS BEFORE THEIR DIAGNOSIS - SCHOOL TEACHERS, NURSE ASSISTANTS, WELDERS, CARPENTERS, LEGAL SECRETARIES, ENGINEERS, ACCOUNTANTS, TRUCK DRIVERS, COMPUTER TECHNICIANS, HAIR STYLISTS AND SALES PERSONS.EVALUATION OF PROJECT ANGEL FOOD PROGRAM - PROJECT ANGEL FOOD'S STAFF INCLUDE REGISTERED DIETICIANS, CLIENT SERVICES TEAMS, KITCHEN STAFF, AND A DISPATCH AND DELIVERY DRIVING CREW, WHO WORK TOGETHER TO MONITOR THE NUMBER OF MEALS PLANNED, PREPARED, DELIVERED AND RECEIVED. THIS SYSTEM OF CHECKS AND BALANCES ENSURES THAT NO ONE WHO NEEDS A MEAL IS MISSED, AND KEEPS THE NUTRITION AND CLIENT SERVICES TEAM AWARE OF EACH PARTICULAR CLIENT'S HEALTH.PROJECT ANGEL FOOD ALSO DISTRIBUTES AN ANNUAL CLIENT SATISFACTION SURVEY TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE DEGREE TO WHICH THEY ARE MEETING THEIR CLIENTS' NEEDS. THE SURVEY ALSO AFFORDS CLIENTS THE CHANCE TO SELF-REPORT ON THE IMPACT THE PROGRAM IS HAVING ON THEIR LIVES, WITH ROOM FOR COMMENTS RELATING TO SERVICES.THE ORGANIZATION'S WORK IS EFFECTIVE. ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECENT ANNUAL CLIENT SURVEY FOR 2017, 97% OF CLIENTS REPORT PROJECT ANGEL FOOD MEALS HAVE HELPED THEM IMPROVE THEIR HEALTH AND 96% FEEL THAT THEY LEARNED A LOT ABOUT GOOD NUTRITION WHILE ON SERVICE, THUS EMPOWERING THEM TO EAT HEALTHIER ON THEIR OWN. FURTHERMORE, AN EQUAL NUMBER, 97%, FELT THAT PROJECT ANGEL FOOD SERVICE HAS REDUCED THEIR ANXIETY ABOUT FOOD WHILE HELPING THEM TAKE THEIR MEDICATIONS. IN ADDITION, A MAJORITY OF THE CLIENT BASE COMES THROUGH REFERRALS FROM DOCTORS, HOSPITALS, CLINICS, AND OTHER PARTNERING MEDICAL ORGANIZATIONS WHO KNOW ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION'S LONG HISTORY OF RESPONSIVE, NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT AND ITS POSITIVE IMPACT ON MANAGING CHRONIC, LIFE-THREATENING DISEASE.PROJECT ANGEL FOOD ALSO SEEKS ONGOING VERBAL FEEDBACK AND PERSPECTIVE FROM THEIR CLIENTS THROUGH THE CLIENT ADVISORY BOARD (CAB).
