Meals on Wheels of NEPA provide nutrition and supportive services to homebound individuals living in the greater Lackawanna County area.
The Treasured Friends Pet Food Program brings pet food to home delivered meal recipients who have no way of obtaining pet food. Pets offer emotional support to seniors, additional opportunities for exercise, and help with depression. For struggling pet owners, providing pet food can be the difference between being able to keep a cherished pet and being forced to surrender him or her. We routinely hear from our meal recipients living on a fixed income that they are sharing their limited human food supply with their pet which means both human and pet are facing hunger and lack of proper nutrition.
