It’s #MealsOnWheels Tuesday, visited & did heat checks with 10 seniors. All are prep'ed for the heat.

One says his chemo(4th week, kidney cancer) makes the heat tougher but he's ready to beat both.

Also 1st day of school, so watch for kids & school buses

Today’s #volunteering for #MealsOnWheels was a bit heartbreaking, I was informed one of the seniors passed away after a brief hospital stay. I will greatly miss the 15-20 minutes talks Irene & I had every Tuesday & Thursday over the past few years. I made sure to talk to each senior a little longer during today’s visits.

another #volunteering with #MealsOnWheels Thursday. Other than finding out 1 senior went into the hospital, it was uneventful visits with 15 “clients” seniors who all seemed happy to see me with some anxious about the weather.

Today is Meals On Wheels Tuesday, I visited with 8 seniors.

All were in good spirits but humidity was getting to a few.

Had 3 good discussions about the ongoing “road detour maze” I have to follow and potential storms for tonight. All seemed prepared for the weather.

Fun #MealsOnWheels Thursday, highlights:
- drove a “road detour maze” visiting 19 seniors,
- One senior asked if I was going 🏃 - no idea why but had fun talk.
- Another’s tv was out, seems the cable box was updated overnight & needed a reboot. #volunteering #MoreThanAMeal

Oh, dear.
A pictorial reminder of “near meat.”

There is a Federal program that supplements meals for the disabled and elderly that are unable to prepare meals. Various food industry companies take part in the program.

Almost chicken. Ham loaf.
Think chopped, formed, processed “meat.” Much akin to SPAM ®️. Oh. I forgot the “pork chops.”

It, to me, is inedible. My case manager can't do anything.

#MealsOnWheels is real food.

Just registered my son and I to participate in the #MealsOnWheels #AlleyCat race in Syracuse. I LOVE alley cat races and this one is for a great cause.

@dianor Agreed. Please support local programs to assist with #FoodInsecurity in your areas. #Manna and #Mazon are just two suggestions - there are so many and the number of people needing assistance is growing so fast. #Food is too expensive. #FoodWaste #composting #SchoolLunches #MealsonWheels

Many #vulnerablePeople depend on #mealsOnWheels.
It seems that there are moves to stop because they don't generate a profit.
One of those vulnerable people is my own mother, who, like the lady in this article, also lives in the town of #Rugby.

There is a #parliamentary #petition to address this at https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/632213

Even if you are not in the #UK please disseminate.

Thanks.

@RedFurBall Meeting went well, thanks, but was a downer. Lunch was white rice, ground beef, veggies I cannot name, and tofu. It was a dish brought by #MealsOnWheels been getting the Asian ones, lately. Most are tasty, but there's too much rice. Would like to see more greens instead.
