From Soup to Nuts

Bringing delicious and nutritious meals to people is the mission of both La Soupe and Meals on Wheels Southwest Ohio & Northern Kentucky. It’s fitting, then, that these two organizations have teamed up for a new project.

Working with La Soupe, a nonprofit that bridges the gap between food waste and food insecurity, Meals on Wheels will deliver fresh, chef-driven medically tailored meals to their clients, using sustainable, rescued ingredients.

This marks the first collaboration between a local Meals on Wheels America organization and a food rescue nonprofit.

La Soupe chefs have been creating “Medically Tailored Meals” for over a year as part of their Food as Medicine Program, which provides healthy food as nutrition intervention for those with chronic illnesses in the community. La Soupe's recipes will provide an increased variety of flavors for those receiving Meals on Wheel’s diabetic and heart healthy therapeutic meals.

Through this new partnership with La Soupe and its recent merger with 55North, Meals on Wheel is continuing to innovate in its fight against food insecurity, malnourishment, and senior isolation in the community.
