Nutritious meal support for patients and caregivers.
The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC) offers free meal delivery to help ovarian cancer patients access nutritious ready-to-heat meals during treatment. Meals are delivered directly to the home, helping reduce the need for grocery shopping and meal preparation so patients can focus on healing and recovery.
NOCC’s free meal delivery program provides nutritious, ready-to-heat meals to eligible ovarian cancer patients who are experiencing difficulty preparing meals during treatment.
Access to nutritious meals can become difficult during cancer treatment. Fatigue, treatment side effects, and frequent medical appointments may make grocery shopping, cooking, and meal planning challenging.
Through this program, NOCC helps reduce the burden of meal preparation so patients can focus on healing, recovery, and daily well-being.
Eligible participants can receive:
Mom’s Meals, a national meal delivery service, provides the meals. The meals arrive refrigerated, can be stored for up to 14 days, and can be heated quickly in the microwave.
This schedule provides ongoing nutrition support during treatment and helps reduce the stress of cooking and meal planning.
You may be eligible for free meal delivery if:
NOCC’s program team reviews each request to confirm eligibility and program availability.

Cancer treatment can affect appetite, energy levels, and the ability to keep up with daily routines. Access to prepared meals can make a meaningful difference for both patients and caregivers.
This service can help by:
Meal delivery removes the need to shop for groceries, prepare meals, or plan menus when energy is limited.
Having balanced meals readily available can make it easier to maintain strength and nourishment.
Treatment side effects and frequent medical appointments can make everyday tasks harder to manage.
Caregivers often juggle many responsibilities. Meal delivery helps ease the day-to-day workload.
In addition to meal delivery, NOCC offers a range of support services and resources to help individuals and families affected by ovarian cancer.
NOCC’s free meal delivery program is one of the many ways we support patients and families throughout the ovarian cancer journey. From practical support to education, peer connection, and resources, NOCC is here to help individuals affected by ovarian cancer feel supported, informed, and part of our community.
The free meal delivery program provides ready-to-heat meals to individuals undergoing ovarian cancer treatment and their caregivers. The program helps reduce the burden of meal preparation so survivors and families can focus on healing and well-being during treatment.
Individuals who are currently in active treatment for ovarian cancer (including fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer) and live in the United States are eligible to apply for the program. Caregivers can also apply on behalf of the person in active treatment.
“Active treatment” refers to a period when an individual is currently receiving, or is scheduled to begin, medical therapy intended to treat or control ovarian cancer.
This includes:
Eligible participants receive 36 meals over six months. This delivery schedule is designed to provide ongoing nutrition support during treatment while reducing the stress of cooking and meal planning.
Mom’s Meals ships meals directly to the participant’s home in the United States. This makes nutritious meals easier to access during treatment.
Meals are delivered in three shipments, with 12 meals sent every two months to align with typical ovarian cancer treatment schedules. A total of three boxes of meals (with 12 meals per box) are sent to the household over the course of six months.
Meals are usually delivered within two weeks from your application date. You will receive an email to confirm your address and phone number to ensure your meal boxes are delivered to the correct address. After this step, you will then get an “Application Approval” email with delivery dates of your meal boxes and a menu to the email address you provided in your application.
The program provides fully prepared, ready-to-heat meals that can be refrigerated for up to 14 days and easily warmed in the microwave. The program offers a Standard Protein Plus menu, but additional menu options are available to accommodate dietary needs, including Lower Sodium, Renal Friendly, Vegetarian, Gluten-Free, and Pureed meals.
The dietary preferences selected in the application will determine which menu the individual will receive, and if further customization is needed, a dietitian will be assigned.
You can apply once per year, based on the date of your initial order and first meal delivery.
Once our team member submits the application, you will receive a confirmation email and be contacted by an NOCC program representative with the next steps.
