Purpose:
The EAC Meals-on-Wheels Program provides senior citizens
from the Westbury, Carle Place and New Cassel communities
with home-delivered hot and cold meals daily. The
EAC Meals-on-Wheels Program has been in operation
since 1990.
Description:
EAC Meals-on-Wheels reaches home-bound elderly individuals,
providing them with a hot and cold meal for each weekday,
and supplemental food for weekends.
Meals
are delivered directly to homes in the Westbury, New
Cassel and Carle Place community. When home-bound
elderly have pets, delivery also includes free pet
food. Menus are planned by a nutritionist to guarantee
that nutrition and special dietary needs are met.
Through
Meals-on-Wheels, many of our most vulnerable seniors
now see a friendly face each day, as our driver pauses
to chat and make sure everything is all right. Special
attention is paid to birthdays and holidays, when
staff deliver birthday cakes and items such as holiday
fruit baskets.
Funding:
Program funding is provided by the Nassau County Department
of Senior Citizen Affairs.
