Meals on Wheels in the News

For programs that bring meals to the homebound and that offer senior citizens lunch at senior centers, spring can't come too soon.

"This has just been much more challenging than other winters have been," said Susanna Sussman, executive director of Meals on Wheels of White Plains.

Amid the string of storms that began Christmas weekend and continued through January, programs made extra meals to deliver so those who are homebound have something to eat when a blizzard stops deliveries.

When the weather is too bad, the program is called off for the day. That was the case several times this winter for meal delivery programs throughout the region.
