MEALS FOR THE SHUT-INS
MAMS are bringing hospital meals to the ill or disabled of Phoenix, Arizona. This service is now provided thanks to the Woman's Auxiliary to the Maricopa County Medical Society and the kitchen of St. Luke's Hospital.
The Medical Auxiliary Meal Service has a fourfold purpose: to help people through a difficult period until they can again help themselves; to reduce the cost of illness by making early hospital release possible; to preserve the pride, dignity and independence of the individual; and to provide a balanced regular or special diet at a nominal price.
Meals are delivered five days a week, except for national holidays; a hot dinner is brought to the patients and a cold supper is placed in the refrigerator. Special diets may be prepared, or written orders from the doctor.
Price of the service is $1.55 per day or $7.75 per week. Meals are planned and prepared in the St. Luke's kitchen, packaged in disposable containers and delivered in insulated boxes by the volunteers.
