Local Meals on Wheels program benefits pets, seniors

Thousands of homebound senior citizens across the nation benefit from the Meals on Wheels program each day. Meals on Wheels delivers hot, lunchtime meals to the elderly who might not otherwise eat. Many of the program recipients have only their pets for companionship.
So many seniors are struggling to feed their pets that the Meals on Wheels program initiated Season of Suppers, which delivers pet food to clients. More than 1 million pounds of pet food were collected this winter.
