Bring a Little Joy"I enjoy delivering meals for Dinners With Love because I feel like I get to bring a little joy with each meal delivered. I know that the client and caregiver are going through a difficult time, and being able to bring them a little relief is a wonderful feeling." - Tami, Volunteer

A Privilege to Cook"The thing that really has me hooked on Dinners With Love is knowing someone at this stage of life said, "You know, I would really like a meal from Lil' Britain tonight." Every time you place an order, I am humbled and honored someone chose Lil' Britain. It is a privilege to cook for your patients." - Nathan Johnson, Owner of Lil' Britain Fish & Chip Shop
