Nutrition Center Donates to Meals on Wheels

The delivery of hot, nutritious meals is a very valuable service to the elderly and disabled of our community

 

 

The Board of Directors of The Cameron Nutrition Center presented a check in the amount of $3000 to Cameron Regional Medical Center to help continue delivery of hot nutritious meals to the elderly and disabled in the City of Cameron, Clinton County. The Cameron Nutrition Center Inc. and its loyal volunteers will be continuing to deliver those meals and assist the hospital in any way possible in that endeavor.

In 1971 when the Cameron Nutrition Center Inc. was founded, the Department of Aging granted funds for half of the budget to run the center and provide “Meals on Wheels” for the elderly and disabled in Cameron. The other half of the budget was provided by citizens and groups in the Cameron area, along with donations from the board of directors and fundraisers.

In July of 2017 the Department of Aging decided to no longer fund the Cameron Nutrition Center. However, the Center continued to get by with donations from the community and the board of directors until it finally faltered in the summer of 2018.

In late 2018 the Cameron Regional Medical Center graciously stepped in by using their facilities to provide the food and preparation for the meals. The Board of Directors of the Cameron Nutrition Center and the loyal volunteers continue to deliver those meals. 

The board of directors would like to thank its many supporters for the past money contributions, donation of time, work and support that they provided over the years.

The delivery of hot, nutritious meals is a very valuable service to the elderly and disabled of our community. Anyone interested in the meals program can contact any of the following: Kitch or Liz Kirkendoll, Brenda Steiniche, or Amy O’Grady at the Cameron Regional Medical Center.
