What a Knock on the Door Means to Wilbert
Wilbert, an ordained minister, radiates warmth and, even at an advanced age, has a sharp sense of style and an infectious zest for life. He’s maintained his outlook through good and bad times, including being separated from his wife of 64 years, who now requires assisted living care. It’s daunting for Wilbert to afford essential food on a fixed budget and to combat loneliness while navigating life alone for the first time in decades.

Senior nutrition assistance is important. Every day, a knock on the door means the delivery of delicious and, most importantly, balanced meals, packed with a hearty and welcome dose of vegetables and fruits — healthy options that keep him from indulging in junk food, like a hamburger or french fries, two of his favorites. He’s grateful most of all for the faithful service of Meals on Wheels and its volunteers who help him endure through hardship and keep his spirits high.
When I hear the knock, it’s just a good feeling. To feed the hungry is a noble adventure beyond measure.Wilbert
