"To see the smiles and hear the joy it brings to our patients, I think that's what's most important. That's what's at the heart of hospice. I'm happy to be a part of Dinners With Love." - Mary Pleasant, Bereavement Coordinator, VNA & Hospice of the Southwest Region, Bennington

Would your hospice agency like to offer free meals to your patients and their families through Dinners With Love?

Then consider joining our affiliate partner program!

We provide our affiliate partners with a toolkit, as well as ongoing training and support, to assist them in establishing, growing, and maintaining their very own Dinners With Love programs.

How Does It Work?

Each week, your volunteers will get in touch with the families in your program and invite them to order two meals of their choice from one of your restaurant partners. One meal is for the patient, the other is for a caregiver. Volunteers place the orders and then pick up the meals and deliver them to families at home on Thursday afternoons. 

Benefits of Joining

By becoming an affiliate partner of Dinners With Love, you will receive:

• A 1-2 hour orientation for your agency staff and volunteers.
• The Dinners With Love Toolkit, including a step-by-step guide, and all of the forms, worksheets, and templates you need to successfully implement your program. We update our toolkit on an annual basis.
• Ongoing support–answering your questions, troubleshooting, serving as a sounding board, and advising on strategy.
• General marketing for your program. We will publicize your agency's and your restaurant partners' participation in the program through our regularly updated website and blog, monthly e-newsletter, social media, annual newspaper advertisements, and timely press releases.
• Annual thank you letters and meal donation receipts sent to your restaurant partners.
