Experts think ride-hailing companies like Uber and Lyft can help solve transportation needs for older people. Elders themselves? Some say yes; many aren't so sure.https://t.co/bQyGhlK646

6.9 million seniors live on an income of $228 a week or less. That’s where #MealsOnWheels comes in. Consistent meals delivered daily, ensure that #seniors will never have to choose between food, medicine or home expenses. https://t.co/wFyjd2ZbTZ

When asked, what percentage of income is used by low fixed income folks on necessities? John Ruoff responded 100%...they often forgo things they need like food and healthcare. They have to rob Peter to pay Paul and rob Paul to pay Peter back next month.

“It’s like Christmas. You just look forward to them coming, and opening that bag and seeing what it is. Without Meals on Wheels...it would be tough”. For millions of #seniors in need like Kathleen, #MealsOnWheels brings cheer and comfort year round. https://t.co/g2tUnW6de4

[John Beard @DrJohnBeard]

‘Old’ is a meaningless social construct that boxes an amazingly diverse array of people. Might as well try to group horses, oranges and orangutans. Problem is it drives social policy and, worse, we can internalise the expectations that come with the label https://t.co/dOJGl8rIRl

#morethanameal Meals on Wheels volunteers across our state help ensure our elderly neighbors are safe and healthy every day.

“They said if it had been two hours later, I’d have been gone.” A #MealsOnWheels volunteer in Utah saved a senior recipient. Volunteers don’t just deliver meals for seniors; they provide a critical, daily safety check that saves lives. Via @heraldextra https://t.co/zNtagpZ2SS

“All we’re ever asked to do in this life is to treat our neighbor—especially our neighbor who is in need—exactly as we would hope to be treated ourselves. That’s our ultimate responsibility.”

[SC Aging @SC_Aging]

In SC, nearly 200,000 seniors are hungry. #MealsonWheels programs serve 20,000. Our agencies across the state are working hard to reach every hungry senior.

Would you tell your loved ones to wait if they needed you? Nearly 19 million seniors currently live at or near poverty. Every day, they wait for crucial services and nutrition. Help #MealsOnWheels be there for them and eliminate the stress of waiting. https://t.co/A1rSkeF1mE
