| LHANC is requesting $500,000 for the provision of home delivered meals to frail, low-income, nutritionally at-risk home bound elderly from throughout Miami-Dade County.

With this request, LHANC will be able to remove approximately 400 persons from its waiting list of services and provide them with a hot nutritionally balanced meal for the period of 1 year. |
