“Healthy Heart has been delivering lunch to 5 of our locations since 2015. Pam helped us create a CACFP-compliant menu that accommodates allergies and dietary preferences. Our lunch arrives on time, fresh, and warm. When something comes up or we need to make changes, Healthy Heart is always available to assist us. We highly recommend Healthy Heart!”
