Fall 2012
Spring 2015
Our name, “Meals on Wheels” has become synonymous nationally with meals delivered to those seniors who are homebound.
While being a comprehensive nutrition program is the heart of what we do, it is often
easy to overlook the equally important mission of a daily “check-in” with our participants, made possible by another group of
people we value equally as much; our volunteers. It is why we are “so much more than a
meal.”
Did you know that last year, 62% of the
participants in our program live alone? I bet
you didn’t know that 56% are over 70 years
of age, and 62% are female. 46% of our participants live at or below the Federal poverty
level, and 31% are vulnerable. Finally, many of
our participants receive no daily visits from
anyone other than our volunteers.
Many of our participants lived similar lives
to ours; they were active community members, held jobs, had families. Now, toward
the end of their lives, they may be living on a
very fixed income, or simply not have enough
resources to cover their expenses. Oddly
enough, food is too often the last thing on their
list of daily priorities when faced with other expenses. All they want is to remain in their
homes, healthy and out of long-term care facilities, for as long as possible. Meals on Wheels of
Trenton/Ewing and our volunteers are privileged
to lend a
helping hand!
Again this
past fall, one
of our volunteers
saved
another life,
when
they
arrived
at
the home of
one of our
p art ic ip an ts,
who
was
feeling ill and
asked to be
taken to the
hospital. As it turns out, she had left the gas
stove on, and was slowly being poisoned by carbon monoxide. Had we not arrived when we
did, the outcome might not have been as good
as it was, neither for our participant, or the
neighborhood.
Meals on Wheels of Trenton/Ewing is proud
of our mission, and proud that we can provide
meaningful community engagement opportunities for our volunteers that make all the difference in our community!
MOWTE Has A New Home!
We are very excited to let all our supporters and friends know that MOWTE was
offered new office space by Bert Steinmann,
Mayor of Ewing Township, in the Hollowbrook Center! We are thrilled to move our
administrative offices into a larger space in
February. We will continue to work out of
the ARC with our daily meal delivery, so
there will be no changes for our volunteers.
However for us, it will mean larger office
space and right around the corner!
On MLK Day, a group of volunteers facilitated by the Bonner Program at the College
of New Jersey came to paint our new space
with donations made by the Ewing Home
Depot. They were joined by Sasa, our Executive Director, and Kelly, our office assistant,
and her son Jyjon! We are very grateful to
Mayor Steinmann for his generosity and recognition of the important role we play in the lives of
many of the homebound in Ewing township. And
we also wish to thank our Board member and
Ewing resident, Col. Jon Gribbin, who facilitated
our meeting.

Jordyn’s Cause 4 Paws: Helping
Participants and their Pets
Jordyn Cascone, 13, saw a need. She did her research
and discovered that many homebound seniors, who live on
a fixed income and own a pet, will feed their pets before
they feed themselves. She understood in that moment how
important those pets are to these seniors. She knew she
could make a difference in the lives of these pet owners
and their pets. So she reached out to Meals on Wheels of
Trenton/Ewing to see if in fact, they would partner with
her to help. “I organized this program because the companionship of pets plays an important role in the quality of
these recipients’ lives,” said Jordyn. “I was very happy that
Meals on Wheels of Trenton /Ewing was so open to working with me on my project!”
“I was very impressed that such a young person would
even have our population on
their radar screen,” said Sasa
Olessi Montaño, Executive
Director of Meals on Wheels
of Trenton/Ewing (MOWTE).
“It is always a challenge for us
to recruit the younger volunteer, and when Jordyn
reached out to us with such a
novel idea, I knew immediately this would be a fruitful collaboration!” MOWTE has
always distributed pet food, but it depended on if food was
available at the food bank, or from individual donations.
Jordyn’s program “Cause4Paws” organizes weekly food
bags tailored to the individual dietary needs of the pets.
She prepares a survey for each participant, and then drops
off the bags once a week for distribution by MOWTE volunteers. She gets the food through donations and purchase.
At the same time, Meals on Wheels of Trenton/Ewing
saw an opportunity to apply for a grant to the Banfield
Charitable Trust (BCT) to support the program. For our
homebound participants, their pets are their family. Banfield Charitable Trust’s mission is to keep families and pets
together. Each year, BCT helps more than 500 Meals on
Wheels programs nationally and MOWTE was thrilled
when they received a grant for $2,500 to start their program. “From sharing human meals, to going without needed medications, seniors will do whatever it takes to keep
their pets with them,” said Dianne McGill, executive director and CEO of Banfield Charitable Trust. “Pet food donations are literally a lifeline for seniors and we are so excited to support this new program for Meals on Wheels clients in Trenton and Ewing.”
Ms. T, one of our participants, told us she is very
grateful to receive the pet food for her dog, Ginger. “ Ginger was having some health issues and had lost some
weight. The pet food donations have helped give Ginger
the strength to get around, putting some weight back on .
Mobile News
The special food keeps her going and she is even sleeping
better. Along with the food, Ginger loves the dog treats!”
Jordyn is also a Girl Scout, and is using her project to
work toward her Silver Award. If you would like to help the
Cause4Paws program, please make a pet food donation to
MOWTE,or, you can also visit www.JordynsCause4Paws.org
for more information.
March for Meals Campaign:
Help End Senior Hunger
MOWTE will again be participating in the March for
Meals campaign. March For Meals is an annual campaign in
March of every year, designed to raise awareness of senior
hunger and to encourage action at the local level. Marsillio’s
Kitchen, Mikonos, Freddies’s Tavern, Café 72 will again be
participating this year, and we have two new additions;
CrisPanino and the Blooming Grove Inn, both in Ewing.
Last year, the restaurants that participated not only raised
the awareness of senior hunger in Mercer County, but the
restaurants donated $1986 to MOWTE! We were also able
to get them new diners. A win/win all
around!
In addition, during “Champion's
Week” last year, which this year falls
during the week of March 16th, then
acting Trenton mayor, George Muschal,
delivered meals to some of our Trenton
participants as did the new Trenton
Indoor football team, The Trenton Freedom! This year, The Trenton Freedom, Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes and Ewing Mayor Steinmann have
all confirmed they will be delivering meals! Please come out
and dine for MOWTE in 2015 and make a difference!
Children Making a Difference
Benefit Concert
On November 16th, 2014, MOWTE was the recipient of
the funds raised by the Princeton Girl Choir at their 7th
Annual Children Making a
Difference Benefit Concert.
The concert , held at Trinity
Cathedral in Trenton,
raised over $3600, the most
in all the years they have
held the event.
The initiative was begun
by the Choir's Director
Melissa Malvar-Keylock,
who organizes it every year in her mothers memory. The
girls sang a beautiful, multi-cultural holiday selection that was
enthusiastically received by all!

MOWTE is Honored by the AKA’s!
At their 34th annual MLK Memorial Scholarship
Breakfast, on January 19th, MOWTE was honored by the Ivy League
Educational Foundation Inc, the
charitable arm of the Epsilon Upsilon Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. The AKA’s were
the first black, female sorority in
the US, founded on January 15th,
1908
at Howard University.
MOWTE was nominated by two of
our outstanding volunteers, Mryna Harris-Taylor and
Sandra Campbell. It was indeed an honor to be recognized for the work we do by such an auspicious organization. We will forever treasure this recognition!
MOWTE begins the Books on
Wheels (BOW) Program together
with the Trenton Public Library!
As a comprehensive nutrition program, not only do
we consistently provide nutritionally balanced meals to
our participants, but we look for other ways to enhance
their quality of life. We have partnered with the Trenton Public Library to get our Trenton participants library cards so they may check out books to read! Our
volunteers deliver their books to them and return them
to us when they are done. This is just another way
MOWTE seeks to support our homebound participants! As always, none of this would be possible without the help of our dedicated volunteers!
