SAN DIEGO, California — Special Delivery San Diego has received grants totaling $55,000 from Bank of America Foundation, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, Domanica Foundation and Kaiser Permanente to fund its Diabetes Nutrition Program.

“Special Delivery’s Diabetes Nutrition Program was created in 2014 to address the growing diabetes epidemic in San Diego. This funding will be put to very good use to purchase nutritious foods stocked on the shelves of our diabetic food pantry and our weekly diabetes education classes,” continued Henricks.

Special Delivery’s free weekly diabetes-education classes, conducted on Tuesdays from 9:30-10:30 am, provide individuals diagnosed with diabetes with ongoing information about healthy eating and active living in a culturally and linguistically-appropriate manner to optimally manage their diagnosis.
