Looking Forward
At the start of 2024, we are driving our 30-year commitment to health equity forward by delivering food as medicine. An increasing number of Marylanders live without the necessary access, financial resources, and support to achieve their best quality of life. At the same time, medically tailored food and nutrition is receiving national attention as a proven approach to improve health outcomes and mitigate skyrocketing healthcare costs. The urgency of Moveable Feast’s work is clear considering it is the only community-based organization in our service area that provides medically tailored, home-delivered meals at no cost to those living with serious health conditions and undergoing medical treatment.
Our Approach
The strategic plan will help us navigate the evolving landscape of healthcare funding for our services in Maryland. Our purpose is rooted in our commitment to racial and health equity, with a focus on and input from the lived experiences of those we serve. Our 2024 – 2026 strategic plan identifies priority areas for service delivery, responds to the anticipated increase in demand for MTMs and aims to reduce barriers to medically tailored meals for people living at the intersection of food insecurity and chronic illness.
