Gas and groceries are two things that are more expensive for everyone right now, but that is not stopping the Montgomery Meals on Wheels program from driving on.
“Even though our food costs have increased, we still have made a commitment to feed the seniors that are on our client list,” said Donna Marietta, CEO of the Montgomery Area Council On Aging.
The food comes from venders at a lower cost. Supply chain issues have slowed down the process at times, but that is not stopping them from serving 428 hot meals every weekday.More and more people are becoming homebound in the community, Marietta explained. Despite the odds, the program is stepping up to meet demand.
“As soon as we felt that we could make the financial commitment to add more people, that is what we’ve done,” she said.
