Food on Wheels for Shut-In Grandparents

When care is delivered door-to-door, struggling families can stay together

A disturbing trend in Dnepropetrovsk: Parents skip home and leave their children to be raised by elderly grandparents. Many of these seniors go to heroic lengths to provide for their grandchildren, but the seniors are too poor or too ill to buy nutritious food for the children in their care. To help these seniors feed their precious grandchildren, generous Jews in Great Neck, NY, sponsored the purchase of a brand new bus to deliver food basics to these homebound grandparents. Social workers ride along to offer seniors access to other social and health programs whenever needed. The Wheels for Life bus now makes 50 stops and the number keeps growing.
