Our vision is to educate the Nashville community about proper nutrition, healthy meal options, and provide nutrient-rich meals to patients fighting cancer during a time when eating right can make all the difference.
The Heimerdinger Foundation provides and delivers organic, nutrient-dense meals and nutrition education free of charge to people facing cancer through its signature Meals 4 Health and Healing program. Every week, we serve approximately 500 nutrient-dense servings to over 60 cancer patients and their caregivers so that those going through cancer treatment can focus on healing. Our meals, based on a plant-forward menu, are immune boosting and anti-inflammatory. Our clients share with us that this gift of food is a critical source to their healing and that the nutrition education we provide inspires a transformational journey in how they learn to nourish themselves. Food is medicine and is a source of comfort and connection as well.
Along with this mission is the priority of youth development. As we engage teen volunteers in joining our Meals 4 Health and Healing team, we provide nutrition education, cooking skills, knowledge around meal preparation, leadership skills, and the importance of giving back to the community.
