Fresh Groceries: For clients and caregivers who are able to prepare meals, we offer fresh, healthy groceries available for pickup once a week.
Mobile Groceries: For clients who are unable to travel to our locations, our mobile van provides fresh groceries and frozen meals at mobile locations throughout San Francisco and Oakland.
Nutrition Counseling and Education: To activate services with Project Open Hand, clients receive a nutrition and wellness assessment from our Registered Dietitians to guarantee our medically-tailored meals fully support their dietary needs. Our dietitians offer regular check-ins and continued nutrition guidance, recipes, and recommendations for improved health outcomes.
