With the winter storm warning issued for Tuesday evening through Wednesday evening, the Wood County Committee on Aging will not deliver home delivered meals on Wednesday, Jan. 25.
This decision is made for the safety of our seniors, the volunteers who deliver meals throughout Wood County, and our drivers. A total of 27 routes are delivered Monday through Friday serving more than 575 homebound seniors daily.
Earlier this week in anticipation of the storm, additional frozen and shelf-stable meals were delivered to the home delivered meal participants requesting a supplemental meal for this weather situation. Additionally, all home delivered meal clients were provided two shelf-stable meals in October 2022 for their use should WCCOA be unable to deliver for a day and drivers verified that these meals had not yet been consumed.
All home delivered meal participants will receive a phone call from WCCOA on Wednesday morning to verify their safety and wellness.
