Our Lions and our Lion Ladies (or should we refer to them as Lion Partners?!) help deliver Meals on Wheels to people in Devonport 5 days each month. It is a vertible army of volunteers that do this every day, and we are just part of the Meals on Wheels system. The typical recipient is elderly and often alone. They wait eagerly for their meal and are pleased to see someone as well as receive a meal, for which they pay a small amount. Meals on Wheels is all about people in the community joining forces to help others. While age and disability may reduce some people's capacity to get out and about, Meals on Wheels helps make it possible to stay in their homes, where most are happiest, and maintain some independence. Delivery of nutritious meals, social interaction and regular visits ensure a clients’ wellbeing and can help people live the lives they choose. Even if you are not a Lion you can help: www.mealsonwheels.org.au/Volunteer

This is a great concept. I think it would help people especially those on weight loss programs.
