History of Meals on Wheels
Animeals Program: |
| In 2004,
Meals on Wheels began delivering pet food to our clients along
with the regular Meals on Wheels meal for their furry
companions. It was brought to our attention by a volunteer
that many of our clients were forced to share their noontime
meal with their pets because in many situations, their financial
resources were too tight to purchase pet food. "The Animeals
Program has been a wonderful addition to our program," said Lynn
Haynes, Meals on Wheels Executive Director. "It helps the
individuals we serve to better care for their beloved pets.
Many of the Meals on Wheels' clients are homebound and are
living on fixed incomes. They have a hard time buying food
for their pets." |

Meals on
Wheels would like to recognize Banfield Charitable Trust for the
recent $1,000 grant to purchase pet food for the furry friends
of our clients. |

How Can You Help? |
|
Meals on
Wheels accepts monetary donations for pet food, as well as
purchased pet food. Currently, pet food is sent out one
time per month to clients or upon request. The Animeals
Program creates unique volunteer opportunities to deliver pet
food or collect pet food in a Pet Food Drive for groups wishing
to help the Meals on Wheels program. |

 |
|
Students from the Moore Norman Technology
Center Career Exploration class package pet food in smaller bags
to ease in delivery. |
|
|
|
Most recently, The Career Exploration students from Moore Norman
Technology Center volunteered their time during Random Acts
of Kindness Week for the Animeals Project by collecting and
packaging pet food. |
