40 Years Of Food For Those In Medical Need

God’s Love We Deliver: A Thanksgiving Tradition of Giving Back

As Thanksgiving approaches, the non-profit organization God’s Love We Deliver is gearing up to provide medically tailored meals to thousands of households in the New York City area. Founded in 1985, the organization has been serving individuals with serious medical conditions such as HIV, cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease, and Alzheimer’s Disease for over 40 years. With the help of around 20,000 volunteers, God’s Love We Deliver delivers about four million meals annually to approximately 15,000 individuals.

Located in the Michael Kors Building in SoHo, God’s Love We Deliver operates a massive kitchen where meals are prepared with specific dietary needs in mind. Each meal is custom-tailored by registered dietitians to ensure that it meets the nutritional requirements of the recipients. The organization works closely with over 35 healthcare partners to identify individuals who can benefit from their services.

Michael Kors, the renowned fashion designer, serves on the Board of Directors for God’s Love We Deliver and has been a dedicated supporter of the organization. Kors has been actively involved in cooking, preparing, and delivering meals to those in need. He believes in the mission of the organization and emphasizes the importance of providing not just food but also love and care to the recipients.

In recognition of their continued growth and impact, God’s Love We Deliver is expanding to a new building in Brooklyn to accommodate their storage and delivery needs. The Liberty BKLYN building in Sunset Park will serve as a 30,000-square-foot meal distribution center, allowing the organization to reach more clients in the boroughs.

As part of their 40th-anniversary celebration, God’s Love We Deliver has launched the 40 FORWARD Capital Campaign to raise $40 million for future initiatives. The organization remains committed to its core values of volunteerism and community engagement, ensuring that they can continue to meet the needs of those they serve.

On Thanksgiving Day, God’s Love We Deliver will once again deliver thousands of meals to households in need, bringing joy and nourishment to those who may otherwise go without. The organization’s dedication to providing medically tailored meals underscores the importance of food as a form of medicine, demonstrating how simple acts of kindness can make a profound impact on the lives of others.
