Company Description

Moveable Feast has served Maryland for over thirty years, bringing healthy food and compassion to those living with chronic illnesses. The organization was founded during the height of the AIDS epidemic in 1989, to provide food, hope, and love to those living with HIV/AIDS, many of whom were members of the LGBTQ+ community. Today, our service extends to Marylanders living with heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, among other serious chronic illnesses.

We continue to drive our 30-year commitment forward to deliver food as medicine to an increasing number of Marylanders without the necessary access, financial resources, and support to achieve the best quality of life.

With proven performance and an evidence-based approach to medically tailored nutrition, we firmly believe in the power of food – and the force of our work – to fortify health.
