INDIANAPOLIS — A 40-year partnership between Eskenazi Health and Meals on Wheels of Central Indiana is being enhanced by a recent contribution that will significantly address the nutritional needs of homebound Hoosiers in the Indianapolis Area.
Eskenazi Health recently presented Meals on Wheels of Central Indiana with an in-kind gift that will provide an estimated 75,000 meals for delivery to those in need in 2017.
Beginning in 1976, Eskenazi Health joined with Meals on Wheels to deliver meals to Indianapolis-area residents. Eskenazi Health currently provides meals for seven weekday routes to the homebound and three bulk deliveries to local adult day centers serving more than 170 clients.
Eskenazi Health and Meals on Wheels have worked together to initiate groundbreaking programs designed to fight against food insecurity and malnutrition in the senior and disabled homebound community.
