Meals on Wheels

Since I bum around most of the time.........My aunt asked me to join her on her meals on wheels project today morning. Meals on wheels is a community project where volunteers deliver cooked meals to elderly people everyday by car. The meals are prepared at the community centre kitchen and then the food is packed up in thermos bags and off the volunteers go and deliver the food to the elderly ppl whom have signed up as recievers. Some of them are so old, they can't even walk to the door. They are in their late 80's early 90's some of them.Although its an everyday thing, my aunt volunteers once a month....every first Monday of the month is her shift. I had fun bringing some joy to the elderly, and making sure they are fed for the day!



The food all pakced up and stored in thermos bags in the car

The food: Main Course( not sure what it was) soup,Dessert(sticky date pudding and custard) and apple or orange juice

Some houses we went to we delivered two meals, for husband and wife(so sweet,old couple still living together after soooooo many years). The elderly ppl could even choose special meals. E.g. soft diet, vegetarian,no seafood and so on.
