God's Love We Deliver

Keep Calm and Cook On with Julia Turshen

God’s Love Deliver believes that food is medicine. And that food is love.

God’s Love We Deliver cooks and home-delivers nutritious, medically tailored meals for people too sick to shop or cook for themselves. They have been serving every New York City borough since 1985 and now also serve clients in parts of New Jersey, Westchester, Suffolk, and Nassau Counties. Their work is a model for communities across the country. To support the health of their clients, God’s Love We Deliver also provides ongoing nutrition assessment, education, and counseling. It is a non-sectarian organization serving people in need and their children and caregivers. All of their services are provided free to clients and full of love.

On this episode, Julia talks to four longtime members of GLWD's staff: Daniel Metzger (Executive Chef), Lisa Zullig (Director of Nutrition Services), Dorella Walters (Senior Director of External Program Affairs), and Alissa Wassung (Director of Policy and Planning).
