What is Food Insecurity?
- Many seniors experience problems with the availability, accessibility and utilization of food – they can’t get to the store, are physically unable to prepare meals, etc.
- Food insecurity among low-income elders is a special concern due to unique nutritional needs and health conditions requiring special diets.
- The publicly funded program is limited, so on weekends and holidays seniors might go without a nutritious meal, many choosing between food and medicine, utilities, etc.
Why Holiday Meals on Wheels?
- The goal is to provide our vulnerable and nutritionally at-risk elders with the most basic of human needs - one nutritious meal a day, every day!
- In addition to the food delivery, friendly and familiar volunteers provide a well-being check for seniors that may otherwise not have any other daily interaction.
