Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Food, Meals on Wheels, Nutrition
Mission: "The Mission of Meals on Wheels is to enhance the quality of life for seniors and other eligible adults by providing nutritionally balanced meals and supportive services" About 90% of those we serve, live on a small fixed income that does not stretch to cover housing, medical needs and enough food for an entire month. Poor nutrition is one of the chief causes of premature institutional placement in hospitals and nursing homes. Many of them feel alienated and may develop emotional and/or mental disorders as a result of this isolation and deprivation. Besides delivering a nutritious meal, the volunteers report unmet needs discovered and often form friendships with those they serve.
Results: Driving away hunger one meal at a time and Providing more than just a meal
