Last year 4,091 meals were delivered to those living in all areas of the township. This 'number was up from the 1990 total of 3,783. The meals are prepared at Community Memorial Hospital and the Community Nursing Home in Port Perry. Volunteers deliver the meals three times a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Clients can have two meals delivered each day, allowing them to reheat a meal for the day when meals are not deliv- ered, Mrs. Imperial added. Often Meals on Wheels sup- port is short-term until a person getsback on their feet, but it can be used for an extended period of time. Although many Meals on Wheels drivers are individuals, local businesses and organiza- tions also deliver mealson a reg- ularbasis. The staff of CIBC Port Perry and the Royal Bank deliver meals on the first and second weeks of the month respective- ly. The Prince Albert United Church UCW also delivers meals to local residents. Community Care is always looking for more volunteers to deliver Meals on Wheels. All it takes is one week every month to be the brightest spot in some- one'sday.
