New Wheels (From Van Horn) For Meals On Wheels!

On May 19th, the Plymouth Review reported a great story featuring a delivery truck from Van Horn which will serve as a Meals On Wheels vehicle! This was made possible by the generosity of local donors who responded to the Christopher Family Foundation Grant Challenge, which invited local businesses and philanthropists to help purchase a new truck.

Senior hunger in America is a monumental problem. Today, there are nearly 6 million seniors in the United States facing the threat of hunger. Meals On Wheels Association of America provides well over a million meals to seniors who need them each day! Their mission is to provide national leadership to end senior hunger. Here at Van Horn we are proud to have been able to provide a vehicle to do our part towards helping our local seniors!

The truck was retro-fitted with a walk-in cooler, and Meals On Wheels Executive Director, Kelly Heyn, states “as our service area has increased, so have our transportation needs. This truck gives Meals on Wheels the ability to better serve the needs of our rural communities.”
