HOW THE POWERS OF COMMUNITY CAN SUPPORT LOCAL SENIORS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

By Brent Wakefield, President and CEO, Meals on Wheels San Diego County  

December 8, 2021 (San Diego) - The holidays are only weeks away, and the CDC has shared safer ways to celebrate as COVID-19 and its variants still impact the public. From vaccinations and masks to being outdoors, the country continues to bubble back to life daily, but not everyone will – or can – join in. Seniors are one such group. The past two years have delivered far less than holiday cheer as they struggled with social isolation, loneliness, and hunger more than ever.
