In the past month, Meals On Wheels Columbia has on boarded many new clients who have signed up to receive our meals. On some days, there are multiple new clients starting up! The word must be getting out that our healthful meals are delicious. Don't take it from us, here's what some of our clients have said about the diversity and flavors of our meals:
"There is a good variety, which is such an improvement"
"The watermelon is amazing! We've never gotten that before."
"Thank you!!!"
"Everything I see from you is good"
If you or someone you know is eligible for receiving our meals, we're taking new clients everyday! If you're interested in volunteering with us, or to sign up for meals, visit www.mealsonwheelscolumbia.org for more information!

Carl Plummer, JoAnn Dekrell, and Ling Bunch, are REALTORS in our community who take time once a week to help deliver meals. They are two of many full time professionals who take time out of their busy work week to deliver meals to members of our community. We are beyond grateful for people like Carl, JoAnn, and Ling who are so generous with their time! Contact us about making time once a week during a lunch hour to deliver meals and join an amazing team of volunteers!

Yesterday we sat down with Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture's and Thompson Tables owner, Chef Beth, to learn more about her and her passion for making delicious food. She's had a storied career preparing meals, inspired by her history of growing up on a dairy farm in Mountain View, Missouri and attending so many church potlucks where PEOPLE COOKED with garden veggies and local ingredients. We are grateful she has brought her talents to share with our clients! She and her kitchen prepare our client meals based on senior diet recipes and using a lot of locally sourced ingredients when possible. As fresh produce season in midMissouri moves towards winter, Chef Beth has been freezing as much fresh produce that comes from the farmer's market to use all winter. Think of a Missouri peach cobbler in December! If you or someone you know is interested in signing up for her delicious meals through Meals on Wheels Columbia, visit our website: www.mealsonwheelscolumbia.org
