Catriona Gray readies meals for HIV/AIDS, cancer patients



Reigning Miss Universe Catriona Gray took some time to prepare meals for patients with serious illnesses, including HIV/AIDS and cancer, in New York.

"Spent some time yesterday preparing some meals at @godslovenyc. The mission of God’s Love We Deliver is to improve the health and well-being of men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other serious illnesses by alleviating hunger and malnutrition. We prepare and deliver nutritious, high-quality meals to people who, because of their illness, are unable to provide or prepare meals for themselves," wrote Gray as she uploaded videos on Instagram preparing delicious meals on Tuesday, March 20.

On its website, the mission of "God’s Love We Deliver" is to improve the health and well-being of men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other serious illnesses by alleviating hunger and malnutrition.


"We prepare and deliver nutritious, high-quality meals to people who, because of their illness, are unable to provide or prepare meals for themselves. We also provide illness-specific nutrition education and counseling to our clients, families, care providers and other service organizations," the website said.

It added: "All of our services are provided free to clients without regard to income. 'God’s Love We Deliver' is a non-sectarian organization."

Each year, 'God's Love We Deliver' provides 1.8 million meals to clients.

For several years now, the prevention of HIV/AIDS is one of the major campaigns of the Miss Universe Organization based in New York City.

Gray is based in New York for the duration of her reign as Miss Universe. - ROBERT REQUINTINA
