As the leading Meals-on-Wheels provider in Central Ohio, the LifeCare Alliance kitchen prepares more than 1.5 million meals annually. LifeCare Alliance has launched an aggressive fundraising campaign “The Kettle Match Challenge 2012”. This fundraising effort is to raise “$180,000 in 180 days” to purchase three new kettles. These kettles cook and mix numerous food products to produce 6,000 meals a day, for Meals-on-Wheels, Meals-for-Kids, and Project OpenHand-Columbus clients. LifeCare Alliance cooks all of the meals in order to keep costs low and to control nutritional content, which are critical to the diets of the 15,000 clients served 365 per year.
