A new service for the area bounded by Forest Park, Kingshighway, Highway 70 and the City Limits is scheduled to begin on Monday, February 2, 1976. The Northwest City Meals on Wheels Program is set up to deliver a hot meal daily, Monday through Friday, to the homes of persons unable to prepare meals. The cost of the meal is approximately $1.60; Food Stamps may be used for payment, and the meals can be provided at a lower cost if a person is unable to pay the full price.
The People’s Clinic, 721-5577, is serving as telephone link for the Meals on Wheels program—to request the service, just call the Clinic, who will in turn have an interviewer return the call.
Volunteers — to work in the kitchen and to deliver meals, two hours once a week—are needed, as are donations. If you want to volunteer, call 291-0086 for further information (or call the Clinic).
Donations may be sent to Ruth Swenson, Treasurer, Northwest City Meals on Wheels, 6319 Pernod, St. Louis, Mo. 63139.
