IN TOTAL, 1,066 HOUSEHOLDS RECEIVED MEDICALLY TAILORED FOOD DELIVERIES INCLUDING MEALS, GROCERIES, AND PRODUCE BOXES, MARKING A 48% INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDS SERVED FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR.THE MEDICALLY TAILORED MEALS PROGRAM MEETS THE NEEDS OF CRITICALLY AND CHRONICALLY ILL PEOPLE IN SANTA CRUZ COUNTY WHO ARE LOW-INCOME, LACK A SUPPORT NETWORK OF FAMILY OR FRIENDS, AND/OR DO NOT QUALIFY FOR OTHER FREE MEAL DELIVERY SERVICES. AMONG TKP CLIENTS SERVED, 100% HAD A MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS (E.G., DIABETES, CANCER, HEART DISEASE, RECENT SURGERY), 86% WERE LOW-INCOME (EARNING LESS THAN 200% BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL), 60% WERE SENIORS AGED 60 AND ABOVE, 40% WERE PEOPLE OF COLOR, AND 18% WERE SPANISH SPEAKERS.DURING FY 2023-2024, POST-SERVICE SURVEYS SHOWED 75% OF CLIENTS SERVED LEARNED MORE ABOUT HEALTHY COOKING AND EATING AND 88% SAW IMPROVEMENTS IN THEIR HEALTH CONDITION AS A RESULT OF EATING HEALTHIER FOODS. THE IMPACT OF THE MEAL DELIVERY PROGRAM IS ILLUSTRATED IN THE FOLLOWING QUOTE FROM ONE OF TKP'S CLIENTS: "THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR FOOD THAT IS NOT ONLY DELICIOUS, BUT THAT NOURISHES MY SOUL. I THINK IT'S CALLED LOVE! THE CARE AND LOVE THAT IS IN YOUR ORGANIZATION CAN BE TASTED IN THE FOOD."TEEN ENGAGEMENT: THE MEAL DELIVERY PROGRAM ALSO BENEFITS LOCAL TEENS BY PROVIDING THEM WITH VALUABLE LIFE SKILLS AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITY.

ALL TEENS WENT THROUGH AN INTERVIEW PROCESS, ATTENDED A KITCHEN ORIENTATION, AND PARTICIPATED IN KNIFE SKILLS AND FOOD SAFETY TRAINING. TEEN CHEFS EACH SPEND AN AVERAGE OF 140 HOURS DURING THE 20 WEEK COHORT LEARNING HOW TO PREPARE HEALTHY FOOD. POST-PARTICIPATION SURVEYS CONSISTENTLY SHOWED THAT TEEN CHEFS REPORTED INCREASED CONFIDENCE IN THEIR COOKING SKILLS AND COOKING MORE HEALTHY MEALS FROM SCRATCH AT HOME.
