God’s Love We
Deliver vol prepares
food for ill neighbors
BY PATRICK ROCCHIO
For 20 years Vincent Rada, a paralegal
from Parkchester, has volunteered
his time every Sunday to package food
at God’s Love We Deliver, an organization
that distributes nutritious meals
to those who cannot shop or cook for
themselves due to serious maladies.
“I help the chefs in our kitchen prepare
packaged meals to be sent out to
clients,” said Rada. “We help chop
vegetables and sometimes we pack the
meals before they get shipped out.”
The organization, initially delivered
meals to those who were homebound,
suffering from HIV/AIDS.
Now it delivers directly to the home
of individuals affl icted with 200 different
types of impairments, said a God’s
Love We Deliver volunteer.
If a person has an illness they
weren’t born with, God’s Love We Deliver
works with that client, said a
spokesperson.
Rada said he fi rst became aware of
the organization when he watched a
newscast about God’s Love We Deliver’s
work.
“I had lost friends of mine to the
HIV epidemic, and some of them didn’t
have family,” said Rada, adding “This
just felt like the place to be.”
The meals themselves can be arranged
15 different ways to suit the client’s
dietary needs. The organization
delivers at least 25 percent of its meals
in the borough.
The organization currently delivers
to 1,815 Bronxites and relies heavily
on volunteers like Rada.

8102 or email clientservices@glwd.
