Marple-Newtown Meals on Wheels Seeks Volunteers

For four decades, the all-volunteer staff of Marple-Newtown Meals on Wheels has been providing low-cost, nutritious meals to seniors and handicapped/homebound of any age who are unable to venture out and/or have limited ability to cook or shop.  The caring volunteers, in addition to bringing nourishment, also provide friendship and a kind word to those most in need.

The service is available on a short-or long-term basis at a nominal price and includes both a hot lunch and a cold meal.  For additional information—either for yourself or a loved-one—contact Ginny at 610-359-8990.

At this time, we have a critical need for Volunteer Packers (9:30 am to 10:30) willing to work on Mondays or Fridays.  Volunteer drivers are also needed from time to time (10:30 to Noon).  All Volunteers make a commitment of one or two weekdays a month.  If you are interested in serving, please call Shirley at 610-356-2520.

NOTE:  Persons age 60 or above may qualify for the free Home-Delivered Meal Program available through the Delaware County Office of Services for the Aging (COSA).  This program is based on financial need as well as other criteria and is partially funded by the Pennsylvania Lottery.  For a free assessment, call COSA at 610-490-1300.
