How to help seniors get Meals on Wheels

March 2020. The whole world shut down, except for Meals on Wheels.
Just in Guilford County alone, Meals on Wheels provided meals for 350 people daily at the start of COVID. After COVID, that number jumped to 500 people getting meals daily.

Right now, there are about 400 people on the waiting list. The only way to meet the need is through donations and more volunteers.

“It sounds like a big commitment but we're asking people one day a month where they and a partner can go out and deliver. It takes less than two hours you'll visit 16 to 18 homes, make new friends and you will go to bed that night knowing you made a difference,” said Ellen Whitlock, Director of Senior Resources of Guilford.

Senior Resources of Guilford had their annual luncheon fundraiser Friday, but the need for donations and volunteers is year-round.
It costs $2,000 a year to feed a senior every day, but your donation doesn't need to be anywhere close to that to make a difference.
