Use logo apparel and branded merchandise. We offer a program where there is no minimum order requirements and you receive 20% of the gross profit. In fact we return 20% of the gross profit to our non profit partners in the form of sponsorships and merchandise. Drop me a note if you would like to discuss it further.

I then prepare a weeks worth of meals for them which includes appetizer/soup, main dish with side and dessert and I then deliver their order to their homes once a week on designated day. I prefer lists that have been given to them from their doctors to help with the recipe development and to make sure they get the nutrients that they need. I try to use only Organic and Fresh ingredients to prepare Gluten/Wheat Free, Dairy Free, Vegan/Vegetarian meals. If you know of anyone who can use my help with this service please pass the word, my website is cookinggreek.web.officelive.com or they can email me at cookinggreek@live.com. Thank you for helping me pass the
