Is My Patient Eligible To Receive Meals?
Our meals are available for people living with a life-threatening illness who are having trouble getting adequate, appropriate nutrition on their own. To be eligible, your patient must:
- Have a current diagnosis of a life-threatening illness such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, end stage renal disease, CHF, multiple sclerosis, or other such illness and documented difficulty preparing or accessing healthy meals due to treatment, side effects, or another disability
- Live within our delivery area. Eligible clients living outside the delivery area may pick up meals at Project Angel Heart or set up delivery to a person living within the boundaries. People in rural areas may be eligible to receive meal shipments if covered by a contract with a Meals For Care Transitions health care partner.
- Age and/or income are not qualifying factors.
To determine if your patient is eligible, please submit a completed, signed application form.
If you have questions about eligibility or wait times, please call a member of our client services team at 303.830.0202 or 800.381.5612.

MEET SCOTTY, A PROJECT ANGEL HEART CLENT
Scotty, who was diagnosed with leukemia, received Project Angel Heart meals while undergoing treatment and recovering from a bone marrow transplant. The meals helped the former pirate treasure hunter, who was part of the crew that discovered the only fully authenticated pirate shipwreck ever recovered, stay strong and positve. “You guys send meals with all the nutrients,” said Scotty. “That’s been a great help, to help keep my body fit. Your body needs more than just pills.”
