Meals on Wheels Contra Costa has earned its reputation as a lifesaver because the service we provide is vital to the well-being of homebound seniors, said Executive Director Cassandra Miranda. For many, we are their connection to the outside world, their source of nutrition, and often their safety net. In many ways, the service we provide helps our seniors maintain their independence, health, and dignity. The food being delivered sustains them physically, but the caring interaction sustains them emotionally.
This connection helps ease the emotional and mental burdens that seniors may face, fostering a sense of trust and companionship. It's this combination of nutrition, safety, and genuine human connection that makes Meals on Wheels a true lifesaver for so many in our community.
Client Karen Paluzzi, 91, of Pinole, firmly believes the organization has become essential for her well-being. Meals on Wheels, she says, keeps me alive. I'm a very big fan of Meals on Wheels. It's very fulfilling and trusting.
