I volunteer for a program that serves seniors and disabled. Once every two weeks a neighbor and i volunteer to assist.

It gives me great pleasure to serve in a city where i live. It is a pleasure and honor. The. Meals on wheels open the space for UNITI
To bag and deliver food also. Great ❤ and care is displayed by this partnership.
I don't know all of the details, I do know as a former commissioner of the Southeast community this is what caring and sharing is all about.
Thanks for this opportunity to share my small experience of serving as a volunteer.

Great help during the passing of m y Elderly Mum recently. They made sure she got good meals during Covid. Always kind, concerned.Fruit & Milk alone if great. 90% of the meals are quite good.Love the breakfast. If you don't need it, don't get it. If you need it. Even to supplement what little u may have, it's a Godsend! THANKS TO EACH AND EVERY PERSON EVER INVOLVED. Be safe!

My friend who is a senior recently signed up for this service because of the shelter in place and her income is low. She receives 7 frozen meals that are delivered twice a week that helps but does not meet her needs. She still has to shop for her other meals unfortunately but is grateful to get one meal a day from this program. The food is just ok.

I have been a customer for many years and have become increasingly concerned about the quality and quantity of the meals. From my standpoint the best description of their food is...VERY POOR...with no dash leading to fair.

Their chicken meals appear to be poultry rejects that have run a marathon prior to slaughter...they are the skinniest most emaciated, meatless chickens I have ever seen. Their pork dinner meals are tougher than shoe leather riddled with fat and gristle...if you cut off the edible meat or chicken they weigh less than 4 ounces with little or no recognizable taste or flavor. Thankfully I still have all of my teeth for all of the chewing that is required.

Last Sunday I saw the CEO of M on Ws interviewed on Channel 5 (SF) and you would have thought that the meals are tasteful and plentiful based upon his comments. He actually said they deliver 2 meals a day while in actuality the so-called second meal is not a meal at all but can consist of 2 hard boiled eggs, a bag of carrot slivers and a few bites of celery, a slab of processed turkey and two mutilated pieces of bread.

The fruit they send is an outright embarrassment...the oranges and apples are about the size of golf balls. Any grocery store would reject these as unacceptable...oh, they usually provide a high fructose fruit drink of some kind. And you ought to see the so-called vegetables they send...they appear to be rejects based upon their paltry size, color and flavor.

I wonder if they will be dining on one of these meals at their Star Chefs Dinner Gala on April 21. I wonder if their CEO has ever eaten one of the two meals he touted on TV. I wonder what they would do if I showed up at their fund raising dinner and handed out photos of the many unappetizing meals they deliver. I wonder...

Terrible food with pretty names. The meat is all gristle and otherwise unchewable for someone with old teeth. Every meal comes with some kind of meat; pork, beef or chicken. Once in a while there is a fish plate. Thawed out, the meals have a dingy spoiled smell that makes me wonder how long they have been freezer somewhere. My partner is a vegetarian and is forced to survive on the meager vegetable additions on the majorly meat main dish. We were forced to throw away large parts of the meals on wheels and survive on the meager scrapings. I might add that, despite the fancy names, for the “food” was utterly indistinguishable from eating cardboard.

i have been a client for a few years now, they leave all of our bags at the front desk when they are asked to bring to rooms,and for some reason at least once a week i do not get my food. person working the desk claims they did not bring it, but who knows if they simply did as they've been instructed to do then i could point the blame in right direction. please people just do your job!!by the way i live at seneca hotel 6th st. sf ca
