Wintalyka Issue 3 / 2013 Page title Meals on Wheels and KIA in Wollondilly by Wendy Evans Meals on Wheels ‘More than just a Meal’ and KIA at Work in Wollondilly Recently one of our volunteers was delivering meals to a client whose husband was in a nursing home in our Shire. The volunteer noticed that the client was upset and proceeded to enquire if she was all right. The client said that she had just received a call regarding her husband from the staff at the nursing home saying that he was not very well and she should come as soon as possible. The client told our volunteer that she had no way of getting to her husband’s bed side to be with him. The volunteer made contact with the MOW office to advise them of this lady’s plight. Mow staff contacted the client and the “ball started to roll”. Within half an hour the client was picked up in the fabulous KIA Carnival and taken to the nursing home to spend precious time with her husband. If it had not been for this client getting her meal and the very caring volunteer asking her why she was upset, it could have been a very distressing and lonely time for the client and her husband. Sadly our client’s husband passed away, but I have seen the client several times since and she still has nothing but praise and thankfulness for the support given to her in this special time. This story definitely proves that Meals on Wheels is not just a food delivery service, but as the slogan says is “MORE THAN JUST A MEAL”. Special thanks also go to KIA Australia for their support to our service with the use of the KIA Carnival. THANK YOU KIA!
