About DeliverLean Cares

During public health crises like the COVID-19 outbreak, our most underserved populations, including children and seniors, are impacted on a daily basis and their worlds turned upside down. Schools, youth centers and senior living facilities are now closed, thus reducing immediate access to meals these populations depend on regularly.  DeliverLean Cares is committed to helping the most vulnerable and underserved populations in South Florida by providing meals to those who need it most during this unprecedented and rapidly changing time of increased demand during the COVID-19 global pandemic.
