Pediatric Health Program - Community Servings

Pediatric Health

Community Servings’ Pediatric Health program provides nutritious, delicious, fully prepared meals to children 17 years of age and younger living with, or at risk for, diet-related illnesses, including diabetes, hypertension, and obesity.

Meals are scratch-made from high-quality ingredients. Registered dietitian nutritionists (RDN) design the meals to taste delicious while also controlling for excess fat, sodium, and carbohydrates. Each delivery includes kid-friendly breakfasts, sides, desserts, and healthy snacks featuring energy-rich proteins, vegetables, and fiber-rich starches, providing essential vitamins and minerals. Meals are fully prepared, flash-frozen, and home-delivered weekly.

Proven Results

Community Servings’ meals are proven to improve health outcomes for people with complex, chronic, diet-related illnesses and nutrition insecurity. Meals adhere to guidelines provided by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the American Diabetes Association, Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and the National Kidney Foundation. They also meet the standards for developing medically tailored meals (MTM) and their use as a treatment for severe diet-related illness as outlined by the Food is Medicine Coalition.

If your child qualifies for meals, a Community Servings registered dietitian nutritionist will call with a few questions. The call is important. We need to reach clients before beginning meal delivery.
