Meals on Wheels Quick Facts

	Staff and volunteers prepare and deliver more than 500 meals each day, running 12 daily volunteer routes. More than 100 volunteers make meal deliveries each week.

	ERH spends more than $450,000 annually to run the program, providing first-class cooking talent and staffing the volunteer delivery process so it goes smoothly.

	In addition to meal delivery, volunteers provide a valuable check-in for the elderly. One day, a volunteer attempted to make a meal delivery to a client whose day typically revolved around the visit. When she didn’t answer the door and didn’t answer her phone, the volunteer knew that something wasn’t right. The Deupree Meals On Wheels coordinator then called the client’s family, who promptly went to the house and discovered that their mother had fallen in the basement and had broken a hip. What was ordinarily a routine visit quickly turned into a life-saving act.
