Good nutrition for overall better health – Virginia Mason Foundation

Dear UBS,

Robbi comes in daily to Bailey-Boushay House for breakfast and often will stay for lunch as well. The nutritious meals provided by Bailey-Boushay House have helped Robbi to regain the nearly 30 pounds lost when he was ill.

Thank you, Friedman Group at UBS, for supporting Bailey-Boushay House!

Your contribution goes directly towards providing meals and fresh fruits and vegetables to Bailey-Boushay House clients.

Nutrition is a critical component of health and well-being of Bailey-Boushay House clients. For many of the 250+ clients, BBH provides their only meal that day. It is often their only chance to have fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grain food with real nutritional value. Science has long proven that a diet rich in vegetables and fruit can help the body boost immune response and heal from disease. While many of the clients at BBH are living with HIV/AIDS, they also deal with mental illness, addiction and/or homelessness. Not only does BBH provide a hot meal, it provides a meal with real nutritional value.

In addition to wholesome meals, BBH recognizes the emotional role food plays. That is why BBH has created a place for clients receive good nutrition but also feelings of security, comfort, belonging and a connection with the community.

Thank you again for your contribution and for making an impact in the lives of clients at Bailey-Boushay House!
