Although this valuable program is available to anyone who needs it, it is one that many seniors, people with disabilities, and veterans depend on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E289\">Muskoka Seniors is honoured to be selected to continue this longstanding program and to provide the same quality service and care as Huntsville Meals on Wheels did for almost 50 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E289\">&#8220;Muskoka Seniors was the obvious choice, as they not only have the staffing in place to handle the administrative requirements, but they also have experience with running a frozen food program,&#8221; said Karen Litchfield, Meals on Wheels board chair. &#8220;It only made sense to have a \u2018one-stop shop\u2019 food experience for Huntsville\u2019s clients.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E289\">Muskoka Seniors is a not-for-profit charitable organization and their mission is to keep seniors independent, safe, and connected. They offer many different services in addition to meal delivery including transportation, friendly visiting, social connections, and grocery delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E325\">&#8220;In order to ensure meals are accessible for anyone who needs them, we are happy to be the singular organization to provide hot and frozen meal delivery in the Huntsville Community,&#8221; said Angela Barager, Meals on Wheels coordinator. &#8220;Our team is well versed in the process, having served over 7,000 meals to over 150 clients in 2021 alone.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E335\">Learn more about Muskoka Seniors at <a is=\"qowt-hyperlink\" href=\"http:\/\/www.muskokaseniors.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">muskokaseniors.org<\/span><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Main photo: (From left) Karen Litchfield, Huntsville Meals on Wheels board chair; Diane Litchfield, previous board chair of Huntsville Meals on Wheels; and Angela Barager, Muskoka Seniors Meals on Wheels [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":112101,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-112100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
