Robin

"To be honest, I usually don't have much left after paying for medications and rent," explains Robin. She lives in a small apartment, does not drive due to a disability, and can only afford a few groceries on her limited income.

Robin looks forward to special delivery twice a month when she receives perishable and nonperishable food delivered to her doorstep. When she opens the door, she exclaims, "Thank you so much!" even if the delivery driver has already continued their route.

She finds low-sodium beans, brown rice, and other pantry staples inside the boxes that help build complete meals. She also receives fresh produce, which is her favorite.

"Everything is something I can - and should - eat," explains Robin. "I didn't know there were so many different kinds of squash. I love them all and have learned to cook new dishes, too."
