ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends Food is Medicine. Food is Love. FISCAL YEAR 2017 ANNUAL REPORT Dear friends, We are proud to share with you the many remarkable achievements and milestones we have accomplished this year. In August of 2016, God’s Love celebrated one full year in our new home, the Michael Kors Building, in SoHo. We are now cooking and delivering nutritious meals for 6,803 individuals affected by severe and chronic illness – clients, their children and their senior caregivers. We are most grateful to all of our generous supporters and amazing volunteers who helped make this year such a memorable one. We continue to enhance our menu in order to provide clients with the best possible experience. This year, our Kitchen and Nutrition departments added a new “soft diet” for clients who do not need minced or pureed meals, but for whom chewing and swallowing our regular meals may be too difficult. Softer entrees like fish cakes and meatloaf are delicious, nutritious and easy to chew. These meals help many clients boost their nutrition intake with minimal discomfort and impact to their oral health concerns. As always, we strive to ensure that the most appropriate nutrition is delivered to each client, and we are thrilled to introduce this option into our meal program. Board Chair Scott Bruckner and President & CEO This was a year of firsts.

  • Lauren Bush and David Lauren: Newlyweds
    Lauren Bush and David Lauren: Newlyweds After a year of planning, Lauren Bush, the niece of former president George W. Bush, and David Lauren, the son of fashion designer Ralph Lauren, finally tied the knot. The couple were wed at the massive Double RL Ranch in Colorado, reportsPeople . The ranch, named for Ralph Lauren and his wife Ricky Lauren, covers 17,000-acres of land in the Rocky Mountains. Though the ceremony was on Sunday, the entire weekend was devoted to family activities such as picnics, softball and rodeos. Lauren Bush faced a tough decision when it came to choosing her married name, but finally settled on Lauren Bush-Lauren, choosing to both take her husband’s name and avoid confusion. How do you decide whether to take your partner’s last name? Cupid’s Advice: Many marriages are becoming more and more modern, with many women choosing to keep their last names. Here are a few things to consider before making your decision: 1. Outside pressure: Make sure to recognize any outside influence on your decision. It’s your name, so your family’s traditions or your friend’s ideas should have no major impact. 2. Your ideals: Are you old-fashioned? If so, you may want to take your husband’s name. If you’re more modern, you should consider keeping your name. You need to be comfortable with your name, so make sure it’s something that fits with your goals and values. 3. Compromise: It isn’t bad to compromise if you can’t make a decision.

Six days after a massive earthquake and tsu- nami hit Japan, damaging the Fukushima nucle- ar plant 124 miles northeast of the capital city, Chanel was handing out iodine tablets to work- ers and Hennes & Mauritz and PPR temporarily relocated offi ces. And some brands stopped giv- ing updates on their operations in the country. Ordinarily accessible, Polo Ralph Lauren Corp., Burberry and Paul Smith, as well as several other fi rms, did not respond to requests for comment Thursday. Procter & Gamble Co. issued a state- ment saying all its employees were safe, but a spokeswoman declined to say whether they had been instructed to leave Tokyo. Many fi rms in the capital have already given their employees the green light to work remotely, given rolling blackouts on the edges of the city and erratic train service. Japan’s Energy and Trade Ministry warned Thursday that there was a risk of a widespread blackout in the Tokyo area. That prompted many to leave work and stores to close their doors earlier than usual.
