Somers Meals on Wheels Needs Your Help

Meals on Wheels Program Seeking Volunteers

The Town of Somers Meals on Wheels Program was instituted in October of 1981 by the Town’s Advisory Committee for Seniors. It is a “grassroots” effort, running independently of any state assistance. Meals are graciously prepared by Hometown Kitchen Restaurant for elderly, homebound residents and delivered Monday through Saturday by dedicated volunteers. The elderly population in the community is growing and with that growth comes increased demand for these types of services. The Meals on Wheels Program is very much in need of volunteers to deliver meals. Volunteers can deliver once a month, once a week, or whenever their schedule permits. Background checks are required. This program cannot run without the help of volunteers. If you are or someone you know is interested in volunteering, please contact Christina Cenac at 860-265-7551 or Ccenac@somersct.gov.
