We've known it all along, and now there's proof -- seniors who receive a home delivered meal (such as Meals on Wheels) are less lonely, eat healtheir, and feel safer. (According to a study conducted by researchers at Brown University).
Be proud knowing that YOU are helping to deliver more than food. Your donation also brings a sense of security to homebound seniors, because everyday a friendly volunteer comes to their home and checks up on them. This may be the only person they see all day, and a few minutes of conversation and smiles goes a long way to staving off loneliness and depression.
Check out this wonderful video about us created by The California Health Report, and hear for yourself how happy Lou Ann is to get her daily hot meal. Without this nutritious meal, she would rely on canned soup and frozen vegetables -- that is, if she even had a way to get to the store. Instead, she gets to eat a variety of healthy and tasty foods (even though she's not a fan of curry!)
Thanks to YOU, we are 2/3 of the way to our goal of feeding 1250 meals.
That's a whole lot of happy -- and satisfied -- seniors! We can't wait to deliver even more meals and smiles!
