Good Measure Meals™ (GMM), operating as a business unit of Open Hand, is a fee-based gourmet-quality meal plan that directs 100% of its net proceeds back to Open Hand each month.  Good Measure Meals customers include fitness-conscious individuals, diabetics and others with special dietary requirements and busy professionals who don’t have time to shop and cook.

Consistent with the organization's charge to provide prevention-based nutrition, Open Hand invested in the development of a menu that would be compliant with the healthy eating guidelines established by the American Heart Association, the American Diabetes Association and the American Cancer Society. Good Measure Meals™ Executive Chef Dennis Graeff works closely with registered dietitian Charlotte A. Hayes to ensure that the meals are of the highest quality and nutritionally complete.

GMM's contribution to Open Hand is much more than simply financial.
GMM helps Open Hand extend its Comprehensive Nutrition Care model across the full socio-economic spectrum, enabling Open Hand to make a more significant impact on the quality of health in our community and in reducing the cost of healthcare.

What’s more, GMM allows Open Hand an even greater public forum for its valuable nutrition education programs, as GMM reaches thousands of consumers, fitness and healthcare professionals throughout metro Atlanta—with a message that not only speaks to the quality of the product itself, but to the powerful prevention-based nutrition behind both the GMM and Open Hand brands.

In addition, GMM now offers fee-based nutritional education programs to the medical and corporate communities, and recently partnered with The Emory Johns Creek Medical Center to develop an eight-week weight management program.

These programs extend the concept of “disease prevention through good nutrition” to a medical and consumer market with the financial means to pay for these services, with the revenue going to support similar nutrition counseling and education programs geared to Open Hand clients who would not otherwise have access to this type of support.

Two years ago, it was merely a vision. Today, Good Measure Meals is seen as a shining example of social enterprise hard at work in the community.

Good Measure Meals™ has earned the endorsement of the Atlanta Bariatric Center and Emory Johns Creek Hospital.
