Impact Is Being Felt By The Frail Elderly

Local Meals on Wheels Impacted as well as National

The national article speaks to the effect fuel costs are having on America's elderly. Keith Stormes, Executive Director of LifeSpan Resources said: “Because we make so many Meals On Wheels deliveries to individual homes, the increase in gas prices is driving our costs up significantly.” 

Thanks to local support and individual donations we have not had to take such drastic steps as reducing deliveries. Nonetheless, the impact is being felt and the struggle to continue meeting the needs of our homebound frail elderly go on daily. According to Stormes, “Last year LifeSpan Resources delivered over 61,000 meals to the homebound in southern Indiana.  When you combine that with our Transportation Program, where we transport the medically fragile, it has the effect of a double whammy.”
