WoodGreen’s COVID-19 Response

The pandemic brought widespread job losses and the suspension of food programs, restricting access and affordability and leaving seniors especially vulnerable. To address the growing risk of food insecurity, our team strengthened collaborations with Second Harvest and community agencies. During the pandemic’s first wave, Meals on Wheels delivered up to 200 times more meals than it had over the same period the year before. The program offered more than nutritious meals; it offered connection for those in isolation.

Program testimonials

M.C.

Client

“My mom and dad have been together for almost 70 years! My dad was the cook of the family, as he enjoyed it so much! With his Parkinson’s disease, he was unable to make the meals he used to. Thankfully, because of Meals on Wheels they can enjoy their lunches again.”

Erna

Client

“It’s given me a chance to heal. I couldn’t even stand long enough to cook a meal. If I hadn’t decided to order Meals on Wheels, that would mean I would be eating less. I wouldn’t be able to get to the grocery store to shop.”
