	Meals on Wheels Phone: (434) 589-1685 www.mealsonwheelsfluvanna.org	We Fight Hunger It is our mission to see that senior, disabled, and homebound adults in Fluvanna County do not go hungry. Meals on Wheels volunteers deliver a hot nutritious meal, a warm smile, and a safety and wellness check so that senior and disabled adults may remain healthy and living in their own homes. Meals are delivered at lunchtime every Monday through Friday, and we currently have an active volunteer force of more than 200 volunteers who prepare and deliver meals to clients in need of our services in the County of Fluvanna. Our meals are prepared by Fluvanna's Dogwood Restaurant in accordance with VDA* guidelines, and the meals are for heart-healthy and low-sodium diets. The Virginia Department for the Aging (VDA) establishes menu planning guidelines to aid program providers in the provision of safe and nutritious meals that meet the requirements of the Older Americans Act. We Alleviate Isolation* Fluvanna Meals on Wheels provides a source of daily social contact for people who would often otherwise be alone. Caring volunteers alleviate the sense of isolation and worry of our clients and observe their physical and mental status to assure their welfare and health. For some of our clients, this may be their only contact for the day. Warm, nutritious meals and daily wellness checks allow for earlier release from hospitals and long-term care facilities. These daily checks can often keep our elderly and disabled community members out of institutions altogether. They also allow senior married couples to remain together in their own homes for longer periods of time. Because volunteers check on meal recipients every day, people who live alone can feel safe knowing that someone would notice if anything were to happen to them.
