SENIORS GIVE THANKS FOR HOME-DELIVERED HOT, TURKEY DINNERS |
MOMeals Volunteers to Serve 1,500
Homebound Elders for Thanksgiving
BY AGING AND INDEPENDENCE SERVICES
COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY
Not everyone can share a holiday feast with relatives. Some have no family. Some are too weak to shop for and prepare a meal. For hundreds of homebound seniors in San Diego County, their Thanksgiving dinner would be a TV dinner if it weren’t for volunteers from the County’s MOMeals program. 
MOMeals gives these folks something to smile about on this holiday. MOMeals, which is administered by Aging & Independence Services, a division of the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency, has had volunteers delivering more than 1,500 meals each Thanksgiving to shut-in seniors since 1991. The MOMeals sites are in South Bay, East County and Central San Diego.
This Thanksgiving, each MOMeals volunteer will visit a handful of seniors, spend time chatting and bring a hot turkey dinner with all the trimmings, plus a carnation and a colorful placemat made by local school children.
No meal recipient pays for the dinner. The food is covered by generous community donations. Anyone interested in volunteering or making a donation to MOMeals can call (858) 495-5279. All money donated to MOMeals goes to meals, not administrative costs.
