Last week Mama’s Kitchen opened its new facility in Fairmont Park on Home Avenue. The non-profit has been delivering free meals to AIDS and cancer patients in San Diego County for 20 years.
On it’s first day of operation at the new site, volunteers were putting food into grocery bags to deliver to about 340 people who aren’t physically able to cook or prepare nutritious meals for themselves.
“So we’re all mama’s,” said Nancy Janus, a retired nurse whose been volunteering at Mama’s Kitchen for 12 years. “That’s what we do, we feed folks. Its a great organization, I get so much more than I give here.”
