Meals on Wheels Eastern Onondaga County: Nutrition, Wellness Checks, and a Push to Expand Host Noah Chrysler interviews Jennifer Covert, executive director of Meals on Wheels of Eastern Onondaga County and vice president of the Meals on Wheels of New York State Association, about delivering nutritious meals and wellness checks to homebound residents. Serving about 230 people across 12 zip codes, the volunteer-based program helps seniors stay safely in their homes, addressing food insecurity and loneliness, with 17 clients over 100 and a 96-year-old driver who has volunteered since 1992. Covert shares advocacy work in Washington, DC after receiving a Meals on Wheels America grant, seeking $2.285 billion in national funding and recounting client stories showing life-saving impact. She explains meals are prepared fresh daily by volunteers, outlines how to request service (including a $10/day option), and emphasizes needs for substitute drivers, donations, and a new facility costing several million dollars to expand capacity. 00:00 Ninety Six Year Old Driver 00:17 Meet Jennifer Covert 00:48 What Meals on Wheels Does 01:29 Service Area And Capacity 02:06 How To Help Today 02:49 Swag Bag And Brochure 04:29 Advocacy Trip To DC 06:27 Capitol Hill Stories That Matter 07:54 Clients Who Became Family 09:51 Why It Matters After COVID 11:14 Centenarians Still Independent 11:47 Retirement Fears And Hopes 12:35 How Meals Get Made 13:30 Signing Up And Costs 14:32 Scaling Up The Mission 15:05 Dreaming Of A New Building 16:53 Why She Does This Work 20:23 Volunteer Community And Purpose 22:09 See It In Action 23:11 Final Thanks And Studio Plug
