Meals on Wheels - A Special Job

TEAM, Inc. does a fantastic job in delivering meals to clients throughout the Valley, but clients may have been a bit surprised on May 20 when the delivery truck rolled up to their homes only to have local mayors make the delivery of their daily meal!

Valley United Way is pleased to be a small funder of the Meals on Wheels program which services over 500 of the Valley's homebound seniors. TEAM does an incredible job with this program and it has a tremendous impact on the lives of those in need of the service. Consider the alternatives that would need to be put in place if the individuals needing the meals had to make other arrangements. Services such as this allow seniors and the homebound to live at home where they feel comfortable and independent. TEAM's drivers also provide a valuable service by being available to check on the condition of their clients on a regular basis.

We salute TEAM for the great job that they do with this program, and also thank our local mayors who are always willing to roll up their sleeves and support worthwhile programs such as this.
