Some of our clients needed special diets so the New England Culinary Institute was asked if they would be willing to take this on. Additionally, more difficult therapeutic meals are prepared by Woodbridge Nursing Home in nearby Berlin and delivered by volunteers. Each month there are five to fifteen new home-delivered meal clients in Montpelier. Without the support of the many community volunteers who share a common interest, Montpelier's frail elders could not live independently in their own homes and in their community. More community groups are involved in the preparation and delivery of the meals and contribute in-kind donations of staff time and mileage.
Special diets are now available from two sources.
Many clients receive friendly visits in addition to their meals.
