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.
To become a client,
call (212) 294-8102 or
email clientservices@
glwd.org.
