• Pet food delivered monthly for clients who have dogs or cats.
• Holiday gifts and birthday cards for Meals on Wheels clients.
• Liquid nutritional supplements, such as Boost or Ensure, for clients needing additional calories or protein due to unintentional weight loss, cancer treatment, etc.  
• Donated box fans and air-conditioning units are provided during the hot summer months for at-risk clients in need.
• Registered dieticians to provide nutritional counseling and education
• Case managers to assess our clients’ mental and physical needs and provide links to resources and support.  May include assistance with medications, medical supplies and fuel assistance.
• Connections with groups and individuals who can provide transportation to medical appointments.
