Meals on Wheels supports the idea that pets provide love and companionship and improve quality of life for their owners. Therefore, we deliver monthly supplies of cat and dog food to our meal recipients who need assistance with meals for their pets. Your donation of cat or dog food or dollars to support this program is greatly appreciated. The gratifying aspect of our program is that we know how much comfort a pet can bring and we are glad to know that we can continue to keep both our clients AND their beloved pets fed. Please call MOW at 673-5035 if you would like to make a donation.
More than 100 corporate teams now support Meals on Wheels in the weekday delivery of meals to the area's homebound. With our headquarters on Willow Lawn Drive and 12 field sites throughout the surrounding counties and the Tri-Cities, corporate teams find volunteering convenient and satisfying. Teams volunteer a minimum of once each month to bring a meal and a friendly smile to our homebound neighbors. Most deliveries take about 1 1/2 hours and allow the employees to perform a vital volunteer duty in a flexible time frame. Recognition activites through the year include an annual volunteer appreciation picnic, spaghetti dinners and other exciting events. Also available for interested corporate teams is to perform a "Day of Caring" for a Meals on Wheels client. This activity typically involves a group of volunteers spending a few hours on a weekend, to help improve a client's exterior of their home by painting, raking, mowing grass and other outdoor chores that our clients are no longer able to perform. Anyone interested in getting their company involved with Meals on Wheels, please contact Jackie Farrell or Warren Hammonds at: (804) 673-5035.
