Dorella Walters is a distinguished figure in the New York community: She currently serves as chief business development officer at God’s Love We Deliver (GLWD), a nonprofit that provides meals for those who, because of illness, cannot cook meals for themselves.
Every day at 7:30 a.m., Walters commutes from Queens to Manhattan on the E train, driven by both personal and professional commitments. Her professional duties include client outreach and establishing community-based and healthcare partnerships for the agency.
“After completing my education and working in several different roles, I came to realize that my true passion was to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others,” Walters said. “In 1997, when God’s Love We Deliver was focused exclusively on serving individuals with HIV and AIDS, I applied for the position of client services specialist … This marked the beginning of my journey with God’s Love We Deliver. Over time, I was promoted to manager of client services and then director of client services, where I oversaw both the client services and nutrition services departments … In 2024, I was honored to take on the position of chief business development officer.”
GLWD is a nonsectarian organization dedicated to improving the health and well-being of individuals with HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other serious illnesses by addressing issues related to hunger and malnutrition. The organization prepares and delivers nutritious, high-quality meals to those who are unable to provide or prepare meals for themselves due to their medical conditions. GLWD also provides nutrition education and counseling tailored to specific illnesses, which benefits not only their clients but also their families, care providers, and other service organizations.
All GLWD services are free of charge without any consideration of recipients’ income.
Walters is of Cuban descent, was born in the Bronx, and lives in Queens Village. Her educational journey began at Long Island University (Brooklyn Campus), where she completed her undergraduate degree. She furthered her education by earning a master’s in public administration from Baruch College (CUNY).
“My various roles at God’s Love We Deliver have consistently nurtured both my personal and professional growth and our organization’s ability to better support our clients,” Walters said. “Over the years, we’ve introduced innovative approaches to how we serve those in need, enhancing the overall impact of our services. My work has also enabled me to collaborate extensively within the organization and [with] various external partners, such as the Food is Medicine Coalition, where I previously served as a board member. I now proudly co-chair with the Food is Medicine Coalition on their healthcare provider committee.”
At GLWD, Walters plays a critical role in supporting the organization’s mission. GLWD delivers more than 3.6 million nutritious, medically tailored meals to more than 12,600 individuals affected by HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other serious illnesses in New York City and its surrounding counties. Under her leadership, the organization has seen significant growth, particularly in securing and maintaining healthcare contracts with managed care organizations such as hospitals and other community-based agencies.
“I have always understood the vital role our services play in supporting this community,” Walters said. “This perspective led me toward broader advocacy efforts, motivating me to join the HIV planning council, where I had the honor of serving as community co-chair four separate times throughout my career at God’s Love We Deliver.”
Walters’s tenure at GLWD has given her unique insight into the clients and communities they serve. Her leadership has fostered considerable growth within the organization, ensuring that GLWD’s mission to improve health and well-being by alleviating hunger continues to thrive.
“Although God’s Love We Deliver is a nonsectarian organization, our mission is compelling to individuals of all faiths, as it is grounded in the universal principle of serving others,” Walters said. “This shared commitment to service is what has inspired many of us to work with and support the organization. It’s all about the mission. The mission is impactful, and in its pursuit, it
embodies the essence of what could be considered God’s work.”
