While in California, Mary Kay Adams often contirbuted her time to the excellent work pursued by Project Angel Food. Project Angel Food is a daily meal delivery program for men, women, and children who are homebound or disabled by HIV/AIDS. Volunteers, who help in the kitchen and make the deliveries, are a crucial component of the program. Since its inception in 1989, Project Angel Food has prepared and delivered more than 2 million meals. Last year Project Angel Food prepared and delivered 318,632 meals to 1,670 individuals.
