We have a youth who is currently in the office without placement. This youth is pre-diabetic and for the past week has not been able to have access to healthy foods. We are in need of some healthy, diabetic friendly snacks and meals that she can enjoy that are also beneficial to her. Her only known food allergy at this time is kiwi. She enjoys shrimp, grilled chicken, salad, tuna salad, carrots, broccoli, and various fruits. She is not a picky eater. We do have access to a microwave, stove, and fridge so perishable items could be an option as well. At this time, she has no placement, so at minimum a few days worth of groceries would benefit her greatly. We appreciate anything that can be offered for our girl so that she can maintain a healthy diet and her pre-diabetes until a placement is found!
