Kay’s Story:

“Can you imagine what it’s like to be months in your little apartment? Not able to go out, not able to get what you need?” says Kay. “I’m thinking about a neighbour down the way who just cried when her young people came by to deliver it and just said I can’t believe it, she was just so touched.”

For seniors like Kay, COVID-19 has forced upon them increased isolation in a world that had already become increasingly lonely.

Thanks to the More than Meals program supported by United Way, seniors are getting healthy meals delivered to their homes. Not only that – they are getting critically important social visits and connections with the outside world.
