Good afternoon,



My name is Allyson Schiff and I’m the Manager of Business Development at God’s Love We Deliver, the non-profit medically tailored meal organization. I’m writing you today to let you know of a critical new addition to the accepted diagnoses at God’s Love We Deliver<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.glwd.org/__;!!PxiZbSOawA!LVrV4KPvfDmXmpf7WMz1MnEq1i2KIguEqr9mp1JISbmnAgamMxNzoDo_BULga2UFyukxTLLH6tdB21QHKZI4xXM23bvLXOllBX1BZQ$ >. I’m proud to say we are now serving individuals who have been diagnosed with Sickle Cell Disease. This service builds on the free of charge, medically tailored home-delivered meal service that God's Love We Deliver has offered for almost 40 years to individuals who may be unable to shop and cook for themselves.



Understanding that Sickle Cell Disease is most prevalent among individuals of African American descent, God’s Love We Deliver seeks to improve every eligible individual’s quality of life with access to well-balanced, antioxidant-rich meals that include a wide variety of nutrients including protein, calcium, and zinc, and reduce the Health-Related Social Need (HRSN) disparity in underserved areas, without regard to income. Our meals can reduce oxidative stress and ease the nutritional deficiencies that people with Sickle Cell Disease face. Our meals also provide calories to promote weight gain and growth in children with the disease.



The Medically Tailored Meal Service Includes:

  *   Medical Nutrition Therapy – Unlimited Nutritional Counseling and Education provided by God’s Love We Deliver Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) in the individuals preferred language
  *   Medically Tailored Home-Delivered Meals – Up to 3 freshly prepared, flash-frozen meals/day, 7 days/week are provided, containing zero additives, starters, or fillers, and are flash-frozen to maintain our high quality
  *   Additional Free Meals - Caregivers and/or dependents under the age of 19 in the home are eligible to receive meals, to ease the burden of this chronic condition on the family
  *   Home Delivery – Provided by our dedicated drivers 1x or 2x per week



Eligibility:

  *   Have a diagnosis of Sickle Cell Anemia (ICD Code Range: D57.0-D57.818), with confirmation from a Physician, PA, or NP on the Referral Forms
  *   Live in the five boroughs of New York, or Hudson County, New Jersey
  *   Have access to food storage and heating facilities
  *   Have access to a working phone
