This fall (2016), the Wellesley Cancer Prevention Project has brought back its popular Meals2Heal program.

Launched in Spring 2016, Meals2Heal is an innovative collaboration between WCPP volunteers, Wellesley-based restaurants, and Newton Wellesley Hospital to deliver fresh and local meals to residents of Wellesley and adjacent towns who are currently undergoing cancer treatments.

Since a healthy diet reduces the risk of many types of cancer, the WCCP has partnered with nutritionists at Newton Wellesley Hospital’s Vernon Cancer Center to select menu options from these participating Meals2Heal restaurants in Wellesley: Captain Marden’s, Susu Bakery, and The Local.

To order a meal for a cancer patient, simply call the restaurant between the hours of 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday-Friday, supply the recipients’ name and telephone number and the restaurant will contact a WCPP volunteer to deliver the meal per its posted delivery schedule.

• Captain Marden’s Seafood 781 235 3737 
• Susu’s Bakery Boutique 781-237-7977 
• The Local 781-694-1210  

Please note: when ordering from The Local, please contact one of the volunteers listed below to schedule meal delivery.

For more about Meals2Heal: Check out this video interview with Chef Brian, Cullinary Director at The Local for a peek at some of the delicious meals he’s serving up.

If you’d like to volunteer to be a Meals2Heal driver, email info@wcpponline.org : only 1-2 hours per week is required!
