DALLAS—A nonprofit organization in North Texas is collaborating with nearby eateries to cook and give meals to chemotherapy patients.
The Backstory: President Courtney Johnson launched Culinary Care.
During her junior year of high school, Johnson’s father received a Stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis in 2006.
Her family’s fears were eased and they were able to concentrate on savoring the time spent together thanks to the meals that friends and family gave during that trying period.
Johnson founded the foundation because he was motivated to help others in the same way.
Since the start, a number of eateries have partnered with Culinary Care to offer hot, expertly prepared meals to give cancer patients strength, comfort, and hope.
What They’re Saying: During chemotherapy, Teretha Johnson, who is undergoing immunotherapy for Stage 4 gall bladder cancer, was introduced to Culinary Care.
Johnson says the food she receives from Culinary Care is crucial during the hours she spends undergoing treatment at Parkland Hospital.
“I’ve been in here for a while. “The meal is much needed and greatly appreciated,” Johnson added. “It’s a real pleasure to watch Culinary Care arrive and deliver the food after three and a half hours of sitting there. It’s the day’s high point.
How You Can Help: Culinary Care is constantly seeking new restaurants to collaborate with.
