Mon, 09 Jun 2008Meals on Wheels
What an unfortunate combination. Both food and fuel are going up and these programs are, quite naturally, suffering from the effects. Food costs are causing some programs to cut down on the number of meals they deliver or the type of food that they include in these meals. The cost of fuel is causing some programs to deliver a hot meal once a week along with four other frozen ones for the rest of the week. Yes, you noticed that is only 5 meals. Seniors have to fend for themselves on the weekend. And the cost of basics is affecting all charities through their donations. Donors have less to give after taking care of their own necessities. You really wonder what will become of the nation as these pressures continue to put the squeeze on all of us. posted 16:42 [/Thoughts] permanent link |
