“Project Angel Food makes me feel seen — like a person, not a number. This Thanksgiving, I’m just grateful for you helping me get meals that help me as I battle my diseases, and someone I can talk to about what I should eat. It’s all done with so much care.” — Celeste, Project Angel Food client

Thanksgiving is when many of us gather around full tables. For Celeste — living with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis — a Project Angel Food meal isn’t a holiday luxury; it keeps her alive.

Pain and fatigue make shopping and cooking risky. Before Project Angel Food, she skipped meals, blood sugar spiked, and flare-ups followed. “I’m in pain all day,” she says, “but I still have to be a mom.”

Your support changes that. Our medically tailored meals are designed for complex illness — portioned to limit sodium and added sugars, stabilize diabetes, and ease GI stress. Registered Dietitians check in to adjust what works for Celeste, so she can eat safely and consistently. The result: steadier energy, healthier weight, fewer crises. Medically tailored meals like ours reduce hospitalizations by 63%.

Science on the plate. Compassion at the door. Our Registered Dietitian, Max, who works with Celeste says, “We do more than menus — we coach clients to build skills that last a lifetime.

Celeste puts it simply: “These meals taste fresh — like someone who loves me made them. I’m grateful—truly grateful.”

This Thanksgiving, please make your most generous gift so Celeste — and thousands like her — receive the lifesaving nutrition and guidance they rely on. Your donation today keeps clinically appropriate meals on her table and danger off her doorstep.
