I always admired my mom for her warmth and kindness. One of the greatest things she taught me is that there’s always room at the table for one more. That’s why I’m answering @_MealsOnWheels call to #RespectYourElders. You can too at http://mealsonwheelsamerica.org/respect

Thanks to the love and support of my parents, 1 learned at a very early age that family is everything. As they get older, it's important to me to spend time with them & continue to soak up their wisdom. Join @_MealsOnWheels's call to #RespectYourElders at www.mealsonwheelsamerica.org/respect

Wise Words from Gayle King:

“Everybody I know likes to eat, but imagine if you had no way or means to get to the grocery store or a restaurant...That's why when Meals on Wheels asked if I wanted to help deliver lunch and dinner to people who need it most, I said, 'Yes, please sign me up!'

Now it's your turn."

Food Insecurity May Be Closer Than You Think

President and Chief Executive Officer of Meals on Wheels America, Ellie Hollander, explains how senior food insecurity hides in plain sight, even in apparently affluent areas.

"The public may think the issues are only occurring in certain areas or that food insecurity is temporary, brought on by situations like the pandemic. But in fact, many seniors from all different places and backgrounds struggle with food insecurity for various reasons.”
