Before starting Compassion Delivered, she worked in school safety for a company in Hudson, Ohio. She and her husband have two daughters Makayla (16) and Lillian (10) and a cat named Oliver. Amanda said, “Compassion Delivered is a 501c3 non-profit, was founded in January of 2017, after my husband, Daniel, a culinary trained chef and I recognized a need in our community that we wanted to see met.” She continued, “Not only do we provide healthy fresh meals each week, we also have the chance to spread kindness. Our delivery bags are decorated by children throughout our community. They also help us write encouragement cards that we pass along to our meal recipients. These two items can also change someone’s mood and lift spirits, it’s a vital part of what we do. We truly believe that an act of kindness, such as a meal can give hope and strength.”
