Meals on Wheels of NEPA provides an invaluable service to elderly home-bound individuals who struggle to maintain their rightfully-earned proud sense of independence! Not only does the Agency provide food for the body but 'food' in the form of much-needed human interaction important to nurture the spirit.
My brother called MOW when my dad was diagnosed with cancer and was too weak to cook to himself. Upon making the call the service started immediately! The meal arrived right on time, piping hot by a gentlemen with a pleasant smile. The variety every day after was delightful. Entrées he would never be able to make for himself. Thank you very much for giving my family the comfort of knowing my dad is getting a healthy meal .
I was looking for a volunteer opportunity and decided that I would give back to an organization that had made an impact on my family. When my grandmother’s leg was amputated and she was somewhat housebound for a few weeks, I remember the meals and conversations she had with the volunteers from Meals on Wheels. The kindness shown to my grandmother can never be repaid, but I can help ensure that Meals on Wheels will continue its excellent working of helping those in need.
Meals on Wheels provides a hot, nutritious meal each weekday to our area seniors. These meals are delivered by our dedicated volunteers with a personal touch. Time after time, we hear thanks from our recipients for the daily smiles, kind words and delicious food. I am so proud to serve on the board of Meals on Wheels and help to ensure that this level of service and caring continues for a very, very long time!
Our meals on wheels of north eastern Pennsylvania serves over 800 meals a day. My mom and dad were meals on wheels volunteers for many years. I also had a chance to deliver meals and understand the worth of this organization. Not only do they provide a nutritious, delicious, meal for the elderly and disabled of our community but they offer daily visit to those who may be homebound. I know firsthand, since my mom now receives these meals. She really looks forward to the volunteers each day. This truly is all worthwhile organization. It is well run by a group of dedicated workers.
There are so many people in Northeaster PA who are starved for nourishing food and conversation.
This organization provides both to its clients.
Although I am a current board member I am writing this review as a physician in NEPA. I had patients who received meals from Meals on Wheels of NEPA. This organization delivered cooked meals with a personal touch. Some of patients only ate if Meals on Wheels delivered - which thankfully they always delivered! So thank you Meals on Wheels -
