Delivering Care and Compassion

For three years, Tre has been the friendly face Mr. Davis looks forward to seeing, always arriving with a smile and a positive attitude. It's not just about the food; it's about the care and compassion that Tre delivers every time he knocks on the door.

"I look forward to every Wednesday, when my delivery guy Tre comes to deliver my meals," Mr. Davis says with a grin. According to Mr. Davis he's always on time every week, and they chat for a few minutes while Tre helps bring the box of meals to the kitchen. Tre checks to make sure Mr. Davis is keeping his appointments, and Mr. Davis makes sure Tre is taking care of himself.

Even if Mr. Davis isn't home, Tre writes a little note on Mr. Davis’ box of meals before he leaves — a simple gesture that goes a long way.

Mr. Davis relies on the meals provided by Open Hand for his daily nutrition. Living with hypertension and diabetes, the meals are tailored to his medical needs. Like many older adults, Mr. Davis navigates the challenges of aging and maintaining a special diet, making the role of our medically tailored meal delivery service even more crucial.

"I'm known for eating things I'm not supposed to," Mr. Davis admits, "but with Open Hand you know: 'This is what you eat to maintain a healthy diet.'"

Mr. Davis is just one of many—each meal we deliver supports someone in need, ensuring they receive nutritious food and a human connection that can make all the difference. 

“The meals that I receive on a weekly basis from Open Hand provide a primary source of nutrition for me. The meals are helpful, especially because I am unable to prepare my own meals.”
