Meals On Wheels of Northwest Indiana has the mission to deliver meals to those in need with the support of community volunteers. For many Americans, Meals on Wheels is the difference between remaining in their own homes and needing to relocate to a nursing facility. The nutritious meal, friendly visit and wellness check help them cope with three of the biggest threats of aging: nutrition needs, isolation, and loss of independence. Research proves that when older adults have the right support, they gain greater quality of life, need fewer hospital stays and live longer. Learn More
