Meals on Wheels continues to serve the area, volunteers and donations being sought

 

The Meals on Wheels program provided through Generations in Vincennes, provides food services for elderly disabled individuals in 6 surrounding counties.

Daviess, Knox, Pike, Martin, Dubois and Greene counties are all beneficiaries of the Meals on Wheels program.

Generations Director of Planning and Quality Insurance Cathy Jones stated that last year Meals on Wheels served over 170,000 meals to seniors in need.

These meals are both hot meals as well as meals that can last a few days.

However Jones says Meals on Wheels provides more than just food for home bound seniors.

The need for Meals on Wheels is always growing… however the program continues to loose funding.

Disagreements in congress and the re-evaluation of the census has caused the program to aborb some funding cuts.

Jones says they are also looking for volunteers to get involved with the program.
