Commission seeks funding for supplemental meals on wheels The Albemarle Commission, lo cated in Hertford, N. C. administers the Home Delivered Meals Program which serves this ten county area. Through this program, often referred to as "Meals On Wheels", home bound elderly are assured of receiv ing a hot nutritious lunch each day, five days a week. In addition to the meal, recipients who are most often isolated from the outside world, gain social contact, personal security, and the feeling that "somebody cares". During the last several years, we have experienced a continual in crease in the number of individuals who request or are referred to us needing home delivered meals. Pre sent funding is simply not sufficient to meet this ever increasing need. For this reason, the Commission is working to establish supplemental funds in the form of contributions from local churches, business estab lishments, and other corporate enti ties serving the area. All such contri Dutions will De used 10 supplement the existing program, thereby reduc ing the number of people that will otherwise have to be canceled from the program, as well as those which we are having to deny service to. All inquiries should be directed to Barbara Moore, Home Delivered Meals Coordinator, (919) 426-5753. Contributions should be sent to: Home Delivered Meals Program In care of Albemarle Commission P.
