While Minnesota shelters-in-place, our wheels keep on turning. Many of our clients do not have access to food outside of their Meals on Wheels delivery. So, we are taking every precaution while continuing our essential service. 

Most of our clients are older adults and individuals with disabilities who struggle to prepare adequate meals and shop for themselves under normal conditions. 

In the current environment, running errands is hazardous  for those with mobility issues who are also at the highest risk of severe illness from COVID-19. In addition, our clients on small, fixed incomes cannot afford to stock up on supplies.

For these reasons and more, demand for our service has spiked. Since the end of March, our client-base has grown by twenty five percent, and we continue to add more clients every day. 

If you have been affected by COVID-19, we encourage you to save your money for yourself and your family. But if you are safe and financially secure, please consider donating to help our neighbors that are the most affected by food insecurity.
