“When I got home from the hospital, had a table’s worth of paperwork, feeling weak as a kitten and broke, down and out - you name it. I had just survived anal cancer and my salvation was the daily meal from my wonderful North Miami Foundation for Senior Citizens’ Services, Inc.! From 85 lbs., I gradually got back to 105 lbs. and am feeling better every day. The drivers are courteous, the food excellent and my appreciation is endless. I was a former employee of the Foundation and enjoyed every minute of my 7 years there. I am now a volunteer and proud of it. My love to all and God Bless"
