The Meals on Wheels Program in Christian County supplies daily meals for community members over the age of 60, supplying Effingham, Dieterich, Altamont, Beecher City, Flora, Vandalia, Pana, Taylorville, Ramsey, and Kincaid. Brittany Palmer Meals on Wheels Program Coordinator says the program not only provides meals and fellowship for area seniors but also daily greetings and check-ins from area drivers.

Palmer continues by explaining the two different options citizens have to get meals. One way is visiting a congregate site and enjoying the meal amongst friends. The other option is for home-bound community members who can have Meals on Wheels pull right up to their homes.

Light activities can be found at the congregate sites says Palmer.

Palmer is in charge of building the monthly menu which must fit certain nutritional guidelines.

Volunteers are needed for the Meals on Wheels Program, Palmer says they are in need of drivers and delivery people.
