By Ann Mead Ash

In 2019, Paradise Area Meals on Wheels celebrated 40 years of existence. The organization is located in a room in the Together Community Center (TCC), 3293 Lincoln Highway East, Paradise. Since the program is affiliated with Lancaster Meals on Wheels, meals provided by the Lancaster program are delivered to TCC each Monday through Friday. One hot meal and one cold meal are included for each recipient for a total of up to 30 clients. Two drivers pick up the meals and deliver them in accordance with a route schedule for that day. Meals are provided for a nominal fee. “(Clients receive) five ounces of meat, five ounces of starch, and three ounces of vegetable a day,� said board member Marie Glass, who handles intakes of new clients and cancellations, and who has been involved with the program for

more than a decade. She noted that meals are available for recipients who need to follow a customized diet, including those on low-sodium, diabetic, low vitamin K, vegetarian, and gluten-free diets, as well as soft diets, puree diets, and others. Hot meals may include ham and pineapple gravy, a shrimp dish, Southwest stuffed peppers, meatloaf and brown gravy, or chicken breast and gravy, while cold meals may include a turkey and cheddar sandwich, chicken Caesar salad, Cobb salad, or an egg and olive sandwich. Glass noted that salads are usually served twice a week in lieu of a sandwich. Currently, the Paradise organization could use a few volunteer drivers. “It’s a total of three hours a month,� said Glass, who noted that a driver who is scheduled for a particular day is busy for about 90 minutes. “We use 10 volunteers per week for a two-week rotation,� she said.
