As a vegetarian with specific health needs, Lynne used to struggle juggling her family’s food preferences. Her kids (ages 9 to 16) and her husband have busy schedules — and very different tastes! There are only a few dishes that everyone can agree on. And while Lynne loves to cook, her job as an occupational therapist at a nursing home makes it hard for her to find time to do it. As you can imagine, once the pandemic started, Lynne became overwhelmed at work and had even less time in the kitchen at home. Luckily, she heard about October Kitchen because of a sample service we did at her nursing home a year back. We’re happy to say she’s loved using us ever since! “The staff are like family,” Lynne said fondly. One thing that surprised her about October Kitchen was the connection she formed as she became familiar with the same delivery guy (Rich) over the months. After her mother passed, she found a written note of condolences from him attached to one of her deliveries. Best of all, when Lynne called the office ask about her delivery guy’s name, our office manager Stephanie revealed that she was about to mail Lynne a card herself. Lynne exclaimed, “I couldn’t believe it. They’re such lovely people.” Lynne’s love for October Kitchen has become famous in her social circles!

She tells everyone she knows, whether they’re coworkers, family or friends.
Ultimately, Lynne and her family adore October Kitchen most for the quality of our food. Due to past health complications, Lynne is very discerning about the food she eats. Now, it’s easy to satisfy her diet needs and make her whole family happy with their own dishes. “I’ve run marathons; I’m a healthy person,” she says. “I’m totally neurotic about what I put in my body and I trust [October Kitchen] completely.” Lynne says the proof is in the instructions; without unnecessary preservatives, the food expires if you don’t freeze it in time. As school began again, Lynne started to drive to our location since her daughter’s school is a couple of miles away. (Of course, she sent Rich a thank-you gift for all those months of deliveries!) She’s loved chatting with our staff and checking out the latest chef’s specials and in-house treats and we love getting a chance to see her every week! Thanks for all your support, Lynne. We love having you!

their eyes that Fritz and Barbara were having the most fun out of us all.
The changing seasons didn’t stop the neighborhood from doting on our daughter. A retired couple that lived two doors over, Fritz and Barbara, were not only some of the best neighbors I’ve ever had, but they were also the sweetest people I’ve ever met in my life. Every Easter Sunday morning, at the crack of dawn, Fritz would come over and hide plastic Easter eggs filled with candy, change and trinkets for Audriana to find. He’d hide them all throughout the yard, dozens of them! After my daughter would wake up, she’d grab a basket and go egg hunting while Barbara helped us take pictures.
I couldn’t be more grateful that I’ve been able to celebrate Easter these past 20 years. I know these times may be rough, especially for those who love Easter as much as I do, but I’m confident that we’ll be able to get together again soon. It may be easy to be pessimistic these days, but if Jesus’ resurrection story teaches us anything, it’s that the future will often surprise you.
They were just those kinds of people. They’d raised two daughters of their own and you could tell from the sparkle in
