It costs $7.10 to prepare, package and deliver each meal.
It’s a pretty common misconception that all our recipients receive free meals. They don’t. Only 5.2% of recipients are fully subsidized. Most recipients pay between 65 cents to $5.00 per meal per day.
Your donation covers the rest of the cost.

The Friendship Trays Mission
To deliver daily, in a caring and friendly manner, balanced meals to individuals in the community who are unable to obtain or prepare their own meals because of age or infirmity.
Since 1976 our mission at Friendship Trays has been to deliver nutritious meals to elderly or infirm individuals in the Charlotte community who are unable to obtain or prepare their own meals. We deliver meals to recipients’ doorstep, but we deliver so much more than that. We deliver human connection – by phone or in person as conditions allow – to those that are isolated and lonely. We deliver peace of mind to the families of our recipients. It’s so much more than a meal.
