SYRACUSE.COM - MEALS DOUBLED ITS NUMBERS

 

 

Meals on Wheels doubled its numbers Wednesday despite the snow

The snow didn't stop Meals on Wheels of Syracuse. The group delivered a record 1,438 meals on Wednesday.

The program, which delivers nearly 200,000 meals each year to the home-bound, sick and disabled, has just 16 employees and relies on volunteers to deliver meals. Despite the weather, about 30 volunteers arrived Wednesday to deliver meals.

On an average day, volunteers deliver about 700 meals. But Meals on Wheels managed to deliver twice as many meals in anticipation of having to close Thursday due to the weather.
