The Issue: SENIOR ISOLATION AND HUNGER

"Even the most independent among us, if fortunate to live long enough, may experience a decline in mobility or health that can strip away our independence and diminish the quality of our lives. Great advances in medicine have extended our average life expectancy to a record high of 78.7 years. Living longer means more years spent in the struggles that accompany old age. Add to that the increase in geographic mobility of our families and the result is millions of seniors left behind, hidden, hungry and alone."

The Getsoup App is FREE and Empowers you to Help The Elderly

Meals on Wheels America is thrilled to launch a first-of-its-kind national awareness campaign with the Ad Council designed to inspire and recruit a new pipeline of volunteers for the nationwide network of Meals on Wheels programs. Through heartfelt PSAs created by pro-bono creative agency Anomaly and award-winning photographer Mark Seliger, "America, Let's Do Lunch™" shines an important spotlight on just a few of the 2.4 million seniors Meals on Wheels serves each year.

Headlines alert us to the impact of the aging of America. The “silver tsunami” or "age wave" is already here as over 10,000 Baby Boomers reach the age of 65 every single day. One quarter of today’s 65-year-olds will live past the age of 90 and will experience many of their daily chores turning into insurmountable everyday challenges. These seniors already represent the fastest growing population segment in the U.S.

Meals on Wheels Health is an initiative of Meals on Wheels America that brings together the nationwide Meals on Wheels network in support of the healthcare system’s achievement of its triple bottom line goals. We can accomplish this because of our trusted and unique ability to cross the threshold into seniors’ homes, giving us the advantage to better assess and deliver on the individualized needs of high-risk and special needs beneficiaries.

RESEARCH PROVES THE FULL IMPACT OF MEALS ON WHEELS

Meals on Wheels America, with funding from AARP Foundation, commissioned Brown University’s Center for Gerontology and Healthcare Research to design a 15-week pilot study to compare the experience and health outcomes realized by older adults who receive three different levels of service: daily traditional meal delivery, once-weekly frozen delivery and individuals on a waiting list. What we found confirms what we’ve known for decades anecdotally and through personal experience: that Meals on Wheels does in fact deliver so much more than just a meal.

STEP 1. Communicate

Telecommunications (Access to Phone and Internet Web Portals)

The First need is to be able to communicate within the community...

"We are putting together Smartphone IT Systems for the Meals on Wheels Volunteers. Please support what we are trying to do."

Motorola Moto E

Android Smartphones are cheap now. I have seen them as low as $20 at Walmart. Many people are even giving their old Smartphones away for FREE.

"The Motorola Moto E comes with a built-in FM Radio. You can listen to Local FM Broadcasts like a Sony Walkman. So if for no other reason, purchasing a Motorola Moto E is like purchasing a Sony Walkman for $20."

Instructions

Now that you have your Smartphone, your ready to go. We recommend that you Reset your Smartphone back to Factory Settings before you begin and then follow the steps below.

"Ultimately, we’re fighting to ensure that local communities are able to meet the growing number of seniors who need the support that enables them to live more nourished lives with the independence and dignity they deserve."


We are also working with the Pasco's Shining Stars Mobile Medical Unit to #Getcancerout

"The Getsoup Movement… It’s a word-of-mouth network which requires participation from the community in order to work. The best way for you to help is to Donate your time by spreading the word."
