ANNUAL REPORT 2016
MISSION & VISION
OUR MISSION The Organic Soup Kitchen (OSK) works to ensure that every family and individual has access to quality, healthy food, regardless of their race, gender, religion or financial status. We believe that humanity can heal itself of many ills when we begin with a foundation of a strong immune system. We support this by offering clinical nutrition and functional education.
OUR VISION Our vision is to provide a comprehensive platform that offers education and strategies to national organizations serving low-income demographics. Share our operational standards and policies that have been tried and proven over the last 9 years. We are confident that our collaborative efforts will help save resources and increase effectiveness for organizations wanting to make a difference.

Nutritional Therapy for Cancer Patients (NTCP) is a weekly delivery program to cancer patients and people with a degenerative disease. Each client receives a week's worth of nutrientdense soups in hermetically sealed containers. Our soups are formulated to strengthen the immune system and combat Cachexia, a condition that decreases muscle mass and weakens organs. This condition can be reversed nutritionally with a healthy nutrient-dense diet.
