A research study shows how meal service affects the health and well-being of adults.
Since 2012, Lowcountry Food Bank has produced meals for adults and seniors in our community. Each month, we produce approximately 12,000 adult meals, with 94% supporting East Cooper Meals on Wheels and Summerville Meals on Wheels.
Our partnership with Meals on Wheels helps reduce hunger and food insecurity to seniors and homebound adults that are nutritious and satisfying by providing a variety of meals.
NEIGHBORS WHO RECEIVE ADULT MEALS EXPERIENCE THE GREATEST IMPROVEMENTS IN HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE.
Our study shows that the impact of receiving meals is positive and vital – enabling improvements in both health and quality of life.
Impact of Meals
Nutritious meals have a profound impact on the adults we serve. Adult neighbors indicate that these meals serve as a pillar to the quality of one’s health.
