Founded in 1972 as
Mobile Meals of Topeka, Inc., Meals on Wheels of Shawnee and Jefferson
Counties, Inc. delivers a hot meal Monday through Friday to homebound individuals
in Shawnee and Jefferson Counties. The meals are prepared
primarily at Stormont-Vail HealthCare and are delivered by volunteers.
The underlying objective of the program is to prevent deterioration of the
elderly and handicapped individuals in the community, thus making it
possible for them to live independently in their own homes for as long
as possible. The friendly visit with the volunteers is socially helpful and
the daily visit is important in case of an emergency situation.
