42: More than just Meals on these Wheels

"Visiting a person who is shut-in can make a positive difference in that person’s life.  February 11th observes National Shut-in Visitation Day, and each year on this day, many people across the nation take the time to make a difference." (http://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/national-shut-in-visitation-day-february-11/)  In thinking of National Shut-In Day, I wanted to find an organization who cared about the physical and mental health of people isolated by ability or circumstance. The best one I found through the ratings was Meals on Wheels People out of Portland, serving the shut-in and at-risk populations of several counties in Oregon and Washington. They have served over 1.3 million healthy meals annually through staff and thousands of volunteers. Their missions is "No senior will go hungry or experience social isolation." (http://www.mealsonwheelspeople.org/our-story/organization-overview/) I love how Meals on Wheels People values their mission and stakeholders, and I am sure many shut-ins will be made that much happier thanks to Meals on Wheel People today. Aside from donating and volunteering, people can also support Meals on Wheels People buy buying popcorn in a variety of flavors and sizes: http://store.mealsonwheelspeople.org/popcorn/.
