County adds $15,000 to Meals on Wheels support and urges volunteers
Summary
Waller County voted to add $15,000 spread over five years to support meal delivery by Fort Bend Senior Meals on Wheels in Waller County and commissioners urged more volunteer delivery support.
The court approved an additional $15,000 in funding to Fort Bend Senior Meals on Wheels to support local meal delivery in Waller County. The funds will be distributed across five years at $3,000 per year to maintain delivery service levels after federal funding cuts affected the nonprofit’s operations.
A commissioner urged residents to volunteer for deliveries, noting that the program provides not only meals but also a daily welfare check for homebound seniors. County staff acknowledged that the funding helps preserve service levels across multiple counties that Meals on Wheels serves.
