Spread Joy This Holiday Season

Help Seniors Like Inez Stay Nourished and Safe

Meet Inez

A Woman of Strength, Spirit and Resilience

A Lifetime of Love and Cooking, Now Supported by Meals on Wheels

 

Inez McLean, a lifelong resident of Aroostook County, Maine, spent most of her life cooking for family, friends and neighbors. But when vascular disease led to the loss of her leg, she faced new challenges: isolation, difficulty with mobility and the fear of falling alone. Now, Inez relies on Meals on Wheels to do the cooking, as her once passion for creating meals for others has become more difficult.

"I used to bake a cake in 30 minutes. Now, it takes me longer, but I still find joy in cooking," Inez shares. “Meals on Wheels has helped me regain my strength and some of my independence. The meals give me the energy to keep going and the support of my community.”
