gratitude is a magnet for miracles
A local Knoxville teen, Perri Mahfouz, is the President and CEO of her own non-profit organization, Heal with Meals, Inc. that paves the way to teach nutrition, wellness, and body positivity to children of all ages.
She created positive affirmations, started eating healthy, organic, nutritious meals, and focused on wellness during the pandemic. This was when she realized she wanted to help and inspire children of all ages to heal with meals. Perri teaches children the correlation between healthy eating and self-esteem.
Perri received her Plant-Based Holistic Nutrition certificate from Cornell University, Integrated Nutrition online program during the pandemic.
Heal with Meals Inc. partners with Girls Inc. of TN Valley to provide thousands of nutritious, organic lunches for their summer program. Each meal has a positive affirmation that the girls love. Providing fresh strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and watermelon was a treat. Perri was moved to tears when one girl tasted watermelon for the first time and exclaimed, “It tastes like happiness.” This was when Perri realized that her healthy meals were changing lives on many levels.
Compelled to lead a meaningful life of helping others, Perri Mahfouz and Heal with Meals Inc. are off to a great start changing the lives of others- providing healthy, nutritious, organic meals to heal.
