A Message from our President
Did you know that malnutrition
can be a problem even in an affluent county like Westchester? There are
thousands of homebound people living right here in our community. Among
the elderly and disabled more than 70% live alone and more than 40%
never leave their homes.
Often faced with the choice of
paying for medicine or food, seniors looking for low-cost meal
alternatives have dismal prospects: buying supermarket frozen foods,
ordering in expensive restaurant meals or participating in the fixed
"Meals on Wheels" programs. Many turn to the same plastic supermarket
"TV dinners" that taste mass-produced and are basically flavorless
high-sodium foods produced by machines rather than humans.
So I started this service to offer something new, fresh, authentic and most of all flavorful. I hired talented chefs that cook our meals individually, just like restaurants do. Because I have an elderly father myself, I priced these meals at a point that most seniors on fixed incomes can afford.
Thus, we are hoping to help bridge the gap
between what the government and volunteers can provide and what is
financially realistic for our aging community. We at Top Chef Meals are dedicated to providing home meals service to ensure that seniors can stay in their homes longer and maintain the
quality of life they deserve!
