Hunger

The meals that are delivered to those in need by Meals on Wheels tell an incredible story. It tells these unfortunate people that they are not alone in this world, it tells them that people care, it tells them that others are thinking of them, it tells them that their well being is important to others. This is truly a valuable gift which brings great rewards.

Giving a meal brings such joy to those who are in desperate need, providing warmth and nourishment to those who are often in despair and those who all too often go hungry.

Hunger causes so many implications, unnecessary diseases including chronic illness and dimmentia. Nutrition is vital in the daily lives of everyone. A well nourished individual is a happy person who then has a better chance of staying healthy, physically, mentally and emotionally.

These nutritious meals are provided at a minimal fee for those who can afford to pay, and for those who do not have the means, the meals are provided free of charge. Meals on Wheels is a non-profit organisation which has been in operation since 1939. An organisation that is successfully active for that length of time is no doubt very well managed.
