How could we continue to deliver MIFA Meals on Wheels, a service that, by design, is face-to-face, during social isolation? Our answer stretched our imaginations and our capacity.
We will soon stop daily deliveries to protect both our clients and our volunteers and staff. That’s why we’re working now to get as many frozen and shelf-stable meals into seniors’ homes as we can, in case a day comes when we can’t deliver at all.
For many of the 1,200 homebound seniors served by MIFA each weekday, the volunteer who delivers the meal is the client’s only human contact in a day.
