METROPORT MEALS ON WHEELS
M
etroport Meals On Wheels, Inc. is a nonprofit organization which organ-
izes volunteers to deliver hot lunches to homes of individuals who are
elderly, frail, chronically ill or in need of special help. Although most pro-
gram participants receive meals on an on-going basis, MMOW helps
during periods when someone needs temporary or short-term assistance.
MMOW also provides help for active seniors by creating and managing senior center commu-
nity luncheons and activity programs and promoting already established senior centers.
We are currently in need of volunteers to assist with Tuesday luncheons at the Senior Center
for times and information please contact Lynn Reed at 817.251.1172
