We Support Our Clients with Immune-Boosting Meals
What We Cook
The Heimerdinger Foundation’s Meals 4 Health and Healing program educates the community about proper nutrition and healthy meal options, and provides immune-boosting, nutrient-dense meals to people fighting cancer, during a time when eating right can make all the difference in countering side effects, improving treatment outcomes, and healing. This program is free of charge (for the first 12 weeks) and serves people living in Davidson and Williamson Counties who are currently in active cancer treatment. Since 2013, we have served and delivered over 200,000 meals to approximately 2,700 clients and their caregivers.
We nourish our community through meals made and delivered with love. Our meals are free of charge to residents of Davidson and Williamson Counties who are in cancer treatment – and to their caregivers in their home. Many are in a medical crisis. Up to 80% of cancer patients become malnourished, and we provide the nutrition critical to recovery. Meals 4 Health and Healing reduces stress and isolation and improves long-term health outcomes.
"I feel so healthy after just one meal. This really means a lot because my life was so stressful and I was not eating right and running out of money. You are a blessing." - New Client, October 2023

INSTRUCTIONS: Cut the above ingredients into large chunks and place in a 12 quart stockpot. Fill pot (two inches below rim) with filtered water, then cover and bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and cook uncovered for 2 - 6 hours until vegetables are tender and stock is a medium caramel color. Strain broth and serve hot or refrigerate/freeze, then reheat as needed.
This magic mineral broth is great to drink on its own, seasoned to taste with salt and pepper. It also makes an excellent base for soups, stews, sauces, and as a cooking liquid for grains and braised dishes.
