As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage, more and more elderly and/or disabled residents of our community are turning to South Minneapolis Meals on Wheels for help, namely, a hot, nutritious meal delivered at noontime by a friendly volunteer. In addition to meals Monday through Friday, meals for the weekend are also available, and this option is becoming increasingly popular.

Our program is seeking to raise $5,000 to purchase additional equipment in order to meet the increased demand for our services. We need to make sure we have enough oven space to heat meals, for example, and sturdy insulated boxes for transporting the meals safely. We need freezer space for clients who wish to receive frozen meals. Our drivers follow strict guidlines for handling food and a constant supply of sanitizer, gloves, and face masks is needed.

South Minneapolis Meals on Wheels is grateful for the opportunity to participate in the Walk to End Hunger and to call attention to the need for hunger solutions among those who may not be able to shop for groceries or cook for themselves.
