Notes

Overview

Meals-On-Wheels are hot, nutritious lunches that are delivered Monday through Friday between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to the homebound elderly who meet the requirements. Meals-On-Wheels are delivered by friendly volunteers, many of whom are the only people the homebound elderly see during the day. Weekend and Holiday meals are also available to seniors at the highest risk of malnutrition.

Meals are provided on a donation basis and participants are encouraged to donate toward the cost of their meals as they are able. The suggested donation is $2.75 per meal.

Starting in July, Loaves and Fishes had to comply with new, stricter state regulations for background checks on volunteers in all types of federal- and state-funded programs.

Background check requirements means no more spur-of-the-moment volunteers

I'd encourage anyone who would like to help the Meals-On-Wheels program - even if you only want to be an "emergency" driver - to call Loaves and Fishes and get signed up right now. That way, the background check can be completed and you will be cleared to work when the weather is bad. L&F is a great organization and deserves your support.
