OUR MISSION

Emily King, Former Board Member - On our route we have a veteran who has lost much of his sight. His daughter regularly comes to see him and helps him keep his home immaculate. However, he is so lonely. He can't go out because of his sun sensitivity, and most of his friends have passed. He loved playing pool at the senior center but can no longer see the balls. When I come to drop off his meal I know I make a BIG difference in his day and that of his family. He is grateful, interesting, and such a gentleman. He lets me know that this meal and the contact is important to him. I leave feeling like this is why MOW exists and why we must keep it going- for people like him that really need our help.

Susan Russell, Secretary/Treasurer - I see the good we do, and I know that money is not wasted. We are taking care of the people who took care of us in our formative years.

Sheryl Iszler, Former Board Member - There are many vulnerable populations that have access to various resources and assistance. Our elderly population is often "invisible" and unable to access these resources because of physical issues, transportation issues and a lack of familial support. I support the Meals on Wheels Foundation because I truly believe that how we treat our elders is a true reflection of our values as a society.
