The Village Project provides meals and extended services to individuals and their families dealing with cancer in Avon, Avon Lake, Bay Village, Rocky River, and Westlake, Ohio.

Clients are eligible for service for 12 weeks completely free of charge. At the end of 12 weeks, we will meet with you to evaluate your situation. If appropriate, we will extend service on a month to month basis. At this time, we ask that you make a donation towards the cost of your meals, if you are able.

When you become a client, you will receive a call from your Client Intake Volunteer.  She will set up an in-person meeting with you to review your needs and the services we offer. Your Client Intake Volunteer will continue to work with you, during the entire time that you are receiving food. If you have questions or concerns, your  Client Intake Volunteer will assist you.  In addition, you may always email us at: info@ourvillageproject.com or call the Village Project Offices:  (440) 348-9401.

We deliver twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Our Delivery Angels will bring the food to your home, usually between 5:30 and 6:15 p.m. If you have any special delivery requirements, please don’t hesitate to ask. We can leave food in a cooler or at a neighbor’s home, and we’re also happy to come in and put it away for you.

Often our clients don’t have much of an appetite; however, they need to eat to gain their strength and heal. Each bite of Village Project food is designed to provide a high amount of nutritional value.  We don’t use any processed sugar, white flour, or red meat. We use organic products when available.

When you talk with your Client Intake Volunteer, they will gather this information.  At this time we are not able to address all individual dietary needs.  Typically our clients do not have dietary problems with our food.  However, to address the needs of those requiring special diets or  food allergies, an ingredient list of all entrees is provided with deliveries.

Each person receiving meals in the household will be provided three complete dinners each week, plus side dishes and a dessert.
