WOODCLIFF LAKE—Meals on Wheels North Jersey says it’s pleased to announce that there are several openings available in the Pascack Valley region for older individuals and those with disabilities to apply for meal delivery service.
Meals on Wheels executive director Janelle Larghi said in a statement shared with Pascack Press, “Our program provides freshly prepared and nutritious hot meals delivered weekdays between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. by our caring volunteers. These meals are a lifeline for many residents who are unable to cook for themselves or who may have difficulty getting groceries.”
She said, “We understand that for many of our clients, meal delivery is more than just a meal. It’s a way for them to have social connection and a friendly smile each day. Our volunteers are a vital part of our program, and they take the time to chat with our clients and ensure their well-being.”
Meals on Wheels is meant to provide homebound older residents with nutritional support at a time when many may not have family members or aids to cook for them regularly. Clients may choose which days of the week (Monday through Friday) they wish to receive meals and are given a one or two-meal option depending on their needs.
