OUR PURPOSE
The Homebound Meals, Inc. mission: “To enhance the quality of health and life of the homebound community by the delivery of the hot nutritional meals and the visits of the volunteer drivers.”
Homebound Meals, Inc. deliver medically tailored meals to clients who, due to age, illness, or disability, cannot provide adequate meals for themselves. For many people this support allows them to remain in their own home. For others, it is a short-term assistance when a medical problem occurs and they are unable to prepare meals.
OUR HISTORY
The Homebound Meals, Inc. program began service in Fort Wayne on March 1, 1971 from Lutheran Hospital with four meals. Within a month, another route was started at St. Anne’s Nursing Home. By August of the same year, Lutheran Hospital had three routes, St. Anne’s Nursing Home had two routes, and one route was delivered from Turtle Creek South. By November, we delivered from Parkview Hospital and St. Joseph Hospital also. Volunteers were recruited from church and service groups. The Red Cross trained the volunteers. READ MORE...
