Freezer Meals for Hope: Citrus Pear and PINK SYNC Partner to Support Breast Cancer Patients

PROVO, UTAH, UNITED STATES, March 25, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Citrus Pear, a freezer meal company, enters a one-year partnership with PINK SYNC, a breast cancer support nonprofit, to launch Kitchen SYNC: Rescue Meals. This program delivers nourishing freezer meals to individuals and families facing the challenges of breast cancer treatment, providing a moment of relief while fostering quality time around the dinner table.

A breast cancer diagnosis not only affects physical health, but also brings financial burden, emotional distress, and disruptions in household and occupational responsibilities. Kitchen SYNC: Rescue Meals seeks to address these challenges through freezer meal donations.

“During my own breast cancer battle, I experienced firsthand the toll it took on my family,” says Cami Kapp, founder of PINK SYNC. “I was unable to work and my husband had to shoulder additional responsibilities while caring for me and our family. Friends and neighbors filled our freezer with meals—it was a gift of love and eased a burden for both of us. Now, with Citrus Pear, we have the chance to fill the freezers of those currently on the cancer battlefield.”

McKenzie Rockwood, co-founder of Citrus Pear, shares her thoughts on the initiative: “During my early years as a dietitian I worked with cancer patients and developed a nutrition program for our local cancer treatment center. I saw the struggle patients faced in maintaining a nourishing diet after receiving difficult diagnoses. Now, we are happy to extend this same nutrition-based support to cancer patients and their families at such a critical time.”

Through the Kitchen SYNC: Rescue Meals program, two breast cancer patients will receive ten complimentary freezer meals every month. This initiative is made possible through generous sponsors and donations from Intermountain Health, Survivor Healthcare, Revere Health, and Dr. Mark Jensen.
