A Message F r o M o u r b o a r d p r e s i d e n t and executive director As we look back at 2011, we are struck by the amazing spirit of generosity and commitment that so defines the communities of San Diego. For that we are thankful. As a result of this generosity and commitment, 2011 will go down as a year of significant accomplishments at Mama’s Kitchen. The accomplishment with the most immediate impact — Mama’s Kitchen nourished 572 individuals through our home-delivered meals service and 769 individuals through our pantry service — over 1,300 men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS or cancer who would have otherwise been vulnerable to malnutrition and hunger. Research shows that food insecurity is associated with poor medical Alberto R. Cortés outcomes. As a consistent source of food, Mama’s Kitchen was successful and in Executive Director the most efficient of ways: an average cost of $3.03 per meal! The accomplishment with the greatest long-term impact — Mama’s Kitchen purchased, renovated and moved into a new facility after 17 very successful years in the basement of a church. On August 29 Mama’s Kitchen moved to a newly renovated, 11,000 square foot facility with a state-of-the-art kitchen. This significant increase in space allows us to continue meeting the growing needs of our clients and continue our tradition of never having a waiting list for our critical services. Besides the increased capacity in the quantity of food we can provide, our new facility also provides the opportunity to improve the quality of the services that we provide by providing more in- house prepared food items, instituting the availability of perishable items in our pantry, and developing nutrition education programs. The accomplishment of both immediate and long-term needs is the reflection of a Kenneth Villa, MD community that shows a caring spirit and a strong sense of commitment to the mission 2011 President, Board of Directors of Mama’s Kitchen. The need of those who need us most is very real and our response to the need has been very impactful. Kenneth Villa, MD, Alberto R.
