East Meadow Walmart Supports Meals-On-Wheels

(East Meadow, NY) EAC Network's Meals-On-Wheels program received a much needed grant of $3,000 from Walmart's East Meadow location. EAC Network delivers nutritious meals to homebound elderly residents of Westbury, New Cassel, Valley Stream and Carle Place.

Since EAC Network’s Meals-On-Wheels began in 1989, over 2,600,000 meals have nourished frail and sick senior citizens.  Providing more than just food, Meals-on-Wheels drivers and volunteers, deliver much needed friendship to those whose age and health have left them feeling isolated and alone. “We are thankful for our friends at the East Meadow Walmart”, said Carol O'Neill, EAC Network Regional Director of Senior & Nutritional Services. “They are good community partners and understand how important it is to support our homebound senior citizens."
