Project Description Country: USA Location: Idaho Falls Total Budget: $2,500 Area of Focus: Community economic development Activity Type: Food/Agriculture: Volunteer Services Summary: Support for the Meals on Wheels program offered to area seniors through the Idaho Falls Senior Center. With high inflation and the cost of food and gas on the rise, it's never been more important to provide assistance to some of our most vulnerable residents. The Idaho Falls Senior Center which runs our county's "Meals on Wheels" program is facing a significant budgetary shortfall in providing food to seniors and disabled adults whom greatly depend upon the organization's daily meal service. Throughout the pandemic, seniors and disabled adults residing in Bonneville County have come to rely upon the daily meal they receive either through home delivery or at the Idaho Falls Senior Center to help meet their nutritional needs. Furthermore, for many of these recipients, this daily service proves to be their only social interaction for the day. With over 66,000 meals provided by the Meals on Wheels program last year, this year is projected to see an increase of meal requests... coupled with rising costs, it is leaving the Idaho Falls Senior Center in need of not only additional funding, but also additional volunteers/staff to continue with their existing programs. In addition to providing club funds, members of the Rotary Club of Idaho Falls will volunteer to provide home deliveries to area seniors and disabled adults lessening the burden on the Idaho Falls Senior Center staff which has struggled in filling open positions in a time of record low-unemployment rates. The Rotary Club of Idaho Falls looks forward to supporting this program as it will greatly impact our community and the food insecurity felt by those that are most vulnerable.
