Meals on Wheels celebrates 40 years of service to the Bloomington community
Bloomington Meals on Wheels (MOW), originally founded in 1973 by the Local Council of Women, has been providing two nutritious meals a day to the elderly, disabled, and homebound for almost 40 years. Meals on Wheels serves those within the Bloomington city limits who are recovering from an accident or illness, are temporarily or permanently disabled, or are simply unable to prepare food independently. The fee-for-service program offers a sack lunch and a hot meal at a minimal cost, based on a physician’s diet order for each client. It is the only agency in town that provides diabetic home-delivered meals. Financial assistance is available to those who qualify. read more…..
We Love Our Volunteers!
Names: Pat Winter and Michelle Liptak
Why do you volunteer for MOW?
Pat: “I do it because it is a wonderful service for those who need it. I think it gives clients the security of knowing that they will have a good meal that day and a friendly face to talk to. It also allows their relatives/caregivers the
peace of mind that someone will check on them mid-day.”
Michelle: “Fits well into my schedule and is time well spent.”
How long have you been a volunteer?
Pat: “2 ½ years.”
Michelle: “2 years.”
What would you say to someone who is thinking of becoming a volunteer?
Pat: “When I talk to others, I tell them it is a way to volunteer without taking too much time out of their day. In just about an hour you deliver food that is enough for two meals and a friendly smile. It just makes you feel good.”
Michelle: “If you enjoy people and want to feel like you are making a difference in other’s lives, Meals on Wheels could be a perfect fit.”
