“Nutrition is a big component of our programs,” Cabrera says. “Twenty-plus years ago it was just about how much food you could get in the door to get out to these different programs. Now it’s about how much healthy food you can get in the door to give to the programs, because we are very concerned that the meals that they receive are balanced, healthy meals, especially at soup kitchens where clients might be having just one meal a day. That meal has to be a very balanced, nutritious meal.”
