Prince Harry & Meghan Markle volunteer with Project Angel Food program in LA

-

Harper's Bazaar in the US report in today's online edition how Meghan and Harry have been volunteering for Project Angel Food outreach program in Los Angeles, by delivering meals to at-risk people with life-threatening illnesses who are stuck at home due to their illnesses. 

According the article Meghan and Harry have worked two shifts so far, the first on Easter Sunday and again this past Wednesday, when they helped to deliver a week’s worth of prepared meals and emergency kits with non-perishables to dozens of people too sick to shop and cook for themselves. 

"They told us they heard our drivers were overloaded and wanted to volunteer to lighten the drivers’ workload,” Project Angel Food’s executive director, Richard Ayoub, told a local news site serving the West Hollywood community. Demand for food deliveries has increased since the outbreak of Covid-19.
One client spoke about his delivery from Meghan and Harry: “They were both nice and very down-to earth people,” he said.  “They had masks on, and they were dressed down with jeans, but very nice jeans.” “I thought that tall red-headed guy looked pretty familiar, and that girl was very pretty. Then I saw the large black SUVs with the security guards behind them.” 

 Per their website, Project Angel Food is celebrating their 30th Anniversary this year. Their mission is to prepare and deliver healthy meals to feed people impacted by serious illness, so bringing comfort and hope every day. The program prides themselves in providing nutritious food. Each client receives one-on-one nutritional counseling and a specialized designed menu that is unique to their diagnosis and aligned with their personal dietary restrictions and preferences. Their menus follow specific nutritional guidelines to provide the required nutrients and calories to optimize client’s health. Meghan and Harry were given a tour of the kitchens and had a chance to meet with some of the chefs and volunteers.

I know we should not encourage the tabloids to hunt out pictures of Meghan, Harry and Archie, but it was lovely to see a recent pic. of the "Adorable Archie" just ahead of his second birthday on May 6th 2021. And look at Meghan's bump. Baby No.2 is growing nicely and it appears that it won't be long before Archie's sister arrives. Was Archie off to a play date? (And in case anyone wants to bitch about the fact that Meghan is not wearing head-to-toe black, in mourning for Prince Phillip, Princess Anne was out and about this week wearing a very non-black hue called Red - just getting this in first before the trolls start) Photo as published by the New York Post
