Meals on Wheels
Cancellation
Clarification
Today’s heavy winter storm has resulted in the cancellation of Meals-on-Wheels deliveries by the Salt Lake County Division of Aging Services and the closure of all Salt Lake County operated senior centers.
All 1,100 Meals-on-Wheels recipients have been contacted personally to inform them that today’s deliveries have been cancelled. No one indicated they would be without food today and many already have family and neighbors who are helping them. After being contacted today, 440 recipients who indicated they were in need for the weekend are due to receive two meals tomorrow, Friday, December 31, 2010.
Shelf Stable Meals were delivered to 600 recipients for Saturday, January 1 and Sunday, January 2, 2011. Those 600 are people who are regularly scheduled to receive weekend meals. Shelf stable meals are packaged in such a way that they do not need refrigeration or freezing and usually consist of a canned soup product, crackers and peanut butter, canned fruit, a milk product, and a cookie.
Senior Transportation, a program that drives seniors to doctors’ appointments, will maintain a reduced schedule providing transportation for those with critical need, such as kidney dialysis.
Information regarding Senior Center closures is available at 801-468-2480.
