Wellesley Cancer Prevention Project Presents Meals2Heal Program

WELLESLEY, MA – This fall, the Wellesley Cancer Prevention Project is bringing back its Meals2Heal program to provide fresh and local meals to residents of Wellesley and nearby towns undergoing cancer treatment.

Launched in the spring, Meals2Heal is a collaboration between WCPP, Wellesley-based restaurants and Newton-Wellesley Hospital. With the help of nutritionists at Newton-Wellesley's Vernon Cancer Center, the program offers specialized menu options from Captain Marden's, Susu Bakery and The Local.

To order a meal for a patient, call one of the participating restaurants between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, provide the recipient's name and telephone number and the restaurant will contact a WCPP volunteer to deliver the meal.

Here's how to order from each restaurant:

• Captain Marden’s Seafood 781 235 3737
• Susu Bakery Boutique 781-237-7977
• The Local: (781) 694-1210

Note: When ordering from The Local, please also contact one of the volunteers listed here to schedule a delivery.

Meals2Heal will run through June, break for the summer and resume in September 2017.

To volunteer to be a Meals2Heal driver, email info@wcpponline.org. Drivers are required to work 1-2 hours per week.
