Mayors For Meals
Ottawa County Senior Resources recently participated in the national 2011 March For Meals campaign. The annual campaign, sponsored by the Meals on Wheels Association of America (MOWAA), is intended to generate public awareness of the needs of the homebound senior.

As part of the effort, mayors across the country delivered meals to seniors through the “Mayors For Meals” effort March 23. Locally, Port Clinton Mayor Debbie Hymore-Tester and Oak Harbor Mayor Fred Conley made deliveries in their communities.

“During these tough economic times, the food and human contact we provide to seniors in this community is needed more than ever,” said Dianne Martin Mortensen, executive coordinator of Ottawa County Senior Resources, which runs the Ottawa County Home Delivered Meal Program. The program serves approximately 200 hot meals five days a week to seniors across the county.

The Home Delivered Meal program is funded in part by the Ottawa County Senior Levy and through federal funding from the Older Americans Act, which is administered by the Area Office on Aging of Northwest Ohio, Inc.
