Pre-prepared meals delivered right to your home to help improve mealtime experiences and ensure proper nutrition for MG families
Co-created with our strategic partner UCB
Emerging evidence suggests that ensuring adequate protein, micronutrients, and anti-inflammatory nutrition may support muscle strength, immune regulation, and overall quality of life for MG patients.
MG families facing food insecurity or “food deserts” risk increased risk of poor health outcomes and healthcare disparities. For individuals with MG, the challenges are even greater.
That is why we have created the MGFA Food Support Program.
Profound fatigue, muscle weakness, and difficulty chewing or swallowing – typical symptoms of myasthenia gravis – often limit meal preparation or nutritional intake. These factors directly impact disease management and overall well-being.

The MGFA Food Support Program addresses these issues through properly crafted and packaged meals – delivered directly to your door – to help MG families experience truly positive mealtimes. Benefits of the program include:
- Reduced stress and higher levels of energy around mealtimes,
- Reduced financial burden in acquiring nutritional ingredients for meals,
- Less time required to prepare meals and more rest time to manage health and quality of life,
- Overall improved nutrition and healthier mealtime options.
Open enrollment will begin on Monday, April 20, 2026. Visit this page at that time to apply. Applicants will be selected to participate based on a set of formal criteria and patients who qualify will be contacted by an MGFA staff member.
MGFA is aiming to support 250 families in 2026 and the program will be closed once that quantity of participants is met by the program. Meal delivery will actually begin on June 1, 2026 and continue through December 2026.
