The grant will help underwrite the cost of meals to individuals who either have had to discontinue or forego home meal delivery due to cost, or who have had to reduce the number of days per week that they receive service.
"Our Foundation Board is highly impressed with your understanding of the issues, your strategies and your ability to make this initiative a success," said Cathy Ponitz, executive director of the foundation, in a letter to Meals On Wheels. "Your commitment to this population is critical and we are proud to be associated with this important effort.""We are grateful to the Foundation and excited to receive their generous grant, particularly at this critical time," said agency CEO Teresa Barry. "The economy has created hardships for many people, and this grant will enable more homebound individuals to receive meals who otherwise might have had to go without them."
