Meals on Wheels of Greenville is pleased to announce the continuation of its Summer Foodservice Program. From June 10 to August 2, 2019, Meals on Wheels will provide daily nutritious meals and a daily snack to local nonprofit programs in support of children within the community.
“The continuation of our Summer Foodservice Program will allow us to utilize one of our biggest assets, our kitchen, to support the children in our community with daily nutritious meals and snacks,” said Nichola Bricco, Director of Nutrition and Client Services at Meals on Wheels of Greenville. “The success of the program last year paved the way for us to continue this service and we’re proud to partner with other local organizations to achieve this.”
Over the last few years, the Meals on Wheels team and board of directors have been working towards utilizing the kitchen to serve the community in different ways.
