Grandma’s Soup is a not-for-profit food service organization that provides meals to individuals and families affected by life-threatening illness. By taking a holistic approach to nutrition and healing, our mission is to create “Healthy Bodies, One Meal at a Time”.
The philosophy of holistic nutrition focuses on proper nutrition as the basis for optimum health and well being. Our methodology concentrates on life-threatening illness and chronic health conditions by incorporating natural and organic foods into daily nutrition to provide the essential nutrients the body needs during its battle against disease.
Life-threatening illness affects individuals and families at alarming rates. When a diagnosis of a life-threatening illness is given, nutrition is often the first thing to fall by the wayside. Studies show that nearly 33{83319b28ffaf758a19fca1a94636613a1f6b78d822483999ade938b4d848ab9d} of life-threatening illness can be prevented simply by changing what we eat. Grandma’s Soup’s goal is to make a stressful time less stressful by taking the guess work out of proper nutrition during times of sickness.
Clients of Grandma’s Soup will receive two nutritious meals per day, seven days a week, for up to three months. If meals are needed for a period longer than the initial three months, Grandma’s Soup will continue to provide meals to the client based on medical necessity. Meals are available for delivery or pick-up. In addition to providing meals, Grandma’s Soup will also offer hands on cooking classes to children and adults. Our hands on cooking classes teach the skills and techniques needed to prepare delicious, healthy, holistic meals at home. Cooking classes are available to our clients and to the general public.
Grandma’s Soup is funded through public and private donations, community support, and local and national business partnerships. The price point for meals and cooking classes is based on current market value. Our services are available to individuals and families regardless of their ability to pay.
We are conveniently located between two hospitals in a high-traffic, family-friendly business district in the heart of the Evanston community; making us accessible for patrons and clients in Evanston and neighboring communities. Our products and services are in high demand, putting Grandma’s Soup at the forefront of the evolving eating habits of today’s society. We are providing the foundation for “Healthy Bodies, One Meal at a Time”.
