Congressman McGovern Delivers
100,000th Worcester Meal
|
 |
US Congressman Jim McGovern joined us in celebrating the delivery of the 100,000th meal in Worcester. The milestone meal was delivered to Worcester resident, Irene McNeil, an 86-year-old woman who suffers from lung disease, among other illnesses, and struggles to shop or cook for herself.
"Thank you for all you have done for so many people, including my grandmother. On behalf of my family, we sincerely thank you," said Irene's granddaughter in a recent note to Community Servings.
Congressman McGovern is a leading voice in the fight against hunger. In 2013 he helped Community Servings expand to the Worcester area and advocates for our
Food is Medicine initiative to integrate medically appropriate foods and nutrition services into healthcare models.
"[The meals] help people recover, help people get well, and they help prevent readmission to the hospital," said McGovern.

Chef Kevin's Spicy BBQ Rub
|
This rub has all the familiar barbecue notes of smoke, salt, sweet, and spice. We recommend using on grilled meats, fish, and vegetables.
For renal diets, Chef Kevin uses this spice mix instead of a tomato-based BBQ sauce, allowing our clients to enjoy traditional BBQ flavor without the added potassium from tomatoes. Read on. |
