Meals on Wheels providing COVID-19 Relief
Tax deductible
In the midst of this coronavirus pandemic, while there haven’t been a lot of cases near us, the number of people that are in need of food and medical help is only growing around the country. In particular, the elderly population, who is extremely vulnerable right now.
Our relationship with elderly people started with volunteering to play piano at a dementia care unit. We are new people visiting every time we go since they do not remember us. They may say the same stories and ask the same questions, but we have built a special relationship with many of them. Currently, my sister and I are unable to volunteer because of the novel coronavirus. And while we do miss being able to go, we realize that it is for their safety.
The world shutting down around is hard on everyone, but I think it is especially hard for the elderly. They are frail, scared and not physically fit to navigate through this panicked world. Not only are they the most susceptible to the virus, but older people are also either unable to or afraid to risk going to buy food and groceries. Even if people wanted to help by delivering groceries to the elderly, they are unable to because of social distancing.
Although social distancing makes it hard to physically help, there are ways that we can help from afar. My sister and I found that Meals on Wheels, an organization that works locally in communities around the United States to address senior hunger and isolation, is really having difficulty to deliver meals during this outbreak.
We decided to create a GoFundMe for them, and we think any donation, no matter how small, will truly help! The money will be spent by Meals on Wheels to help deliver meals around the country. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this meaningful cause.
