On August 7, 2019 our driver, Rick Plogsted, picked Angel and a couple of other passengers up from the Senior Nutrition Activity Center (SNAC) to take them home. After his last drop off, Rick had to drive back past Angel’s house on his way to Batesville for his lunch break. He slowed down when passing Angel’s house and saw her sitting on her side entrance step at an angle. Rick immediately stopped the van and backed into Angel’s driveway to get a better view of the situation and found that she was unable to get up. Read More of Angel's Story Community Collaboration (added February 2020) One day this past fall, Brenda Thayer, Nutrition Program Manager, received a call from a woman who lived out of state and was crying. Her parents lived locally and she was afraid that they were not eating enough and that their health was in jeopardy. Her mom was having memory issues and her dad didn’t cook much. She asked about Meals on Wheels. When the daughter stated that her parents still drove and were able to get out of the house on a regular basis, Brenda explained they wouldn’t qualify for that program but maybe they would be interested in attending the local Senior Nutrition Activity Center (SNAC).

Read More of Mae's Story Jason's Story (added July 2019) Jason is a 25 year old who was paralyzed from the waist down when he was 6 years old as a result of a car accident. He is in a wheelchair, has a pressure ulcer on his bottom, has a colostomy, and PTSD. Jason moved to Indiana from Florida about 2 years ago. He was able to buy a home with money that he received from the accident and a close friend helped him get settled in Indiana. He wanted to start over and make a better life for himself than what his family had in Florida. He had planned on either attending college here or finding a job. After a disagreement, that close friend no longer has contact with Jason and he has no family in Indiana. At this point Jason had no income, funds were dwindling, no reliable source of transportation, and he was unsure of what he needed to do to help his situation. After having a visit with a community care counselor, it was clear that Jason wished to remain as independent as possible and did not wish to have any services. At the time of the visit, Jason was paying for his colostomy and wound care supplies out of pocket, although he had Medicaid insurance. He wanted to find employment, if possible, to have a source of income. Jason had previously applied for disability and was denied. He became discouraged and never applied for SSI (Social Security for individuals with disabilities). He also needed maintenance for his wheelchair, as his tires were very worn, making it difficult for him to wheel himself very far.
