By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

Tin of home brand BBs + wholemeal pitta bread was a staple meal when in London for about 25p a serve. Add half a tin of cooked apple (100 % apple) or yoghurt for dessert about 50p more - less for dinted tins or close to use by dates yog. Add copious cups of tea - still under a pound.
In today's world, you don't gain if you don't try. (Think Kickstarter, GoFundMe, etc.)
He didn't like Meals on Wheels, so he is trying a different tactic. He might even be willing recipient to "first time" recipes, so that could be a huge benefit to both parties.
Makes sense to me.
P.S. Doesn't volunteering mean doing work for free, instead of paying someone to do the work? His post is similar except he subsidizes the meal....
Many times I have cut recipes in half. It’s too much food for just my husband and myself.
We will eat leftovers sometimes but I don’t want the same thing over and over again.
It is a shame that food banks do not accept perishable foods. They can’t due to legal reasons. It’s about what Pecan was referring to, food safety is a concern.
You bring up an excellent point about sharing. There is so much waste regarding food. Restaurants, home cooks, grocery stores, etc.
It makes me sad to see how much food is being wasted when there are people who are hungry that would deeply appreciate it.
I had a friend who was diabetic and had no food or money. She would not go to the food closet because of the sugar. She expected another friend to purchase her food she could eat with the friends money.
I wouldn't be too judgemental about this. Once upon a time, neighbors helped neighbors, but now it's all about "what's in it for me?"
How very sad.
Thats an insultingly ridiculous ad to post, imo. Imagine when the senior starts GRIPING about his $3 delivered dinners, too? Aye yi yi.
One of my Dad's caregivers loved to cook, so she would make enough to bring over to my Dad when it was her turn to caregive. Her sisters loved to bake cookies and treats, they would save some for Mr. Bob [my Dad].
