SmartLinx Solutions, a leader in workforce management solutions for post-acute care and senior living organizations, today announced support for Meals on Wheels America, a national leadership organization that supports 5,000 community programs dedicated to addressing senior isolation and hunger.
In addition to facing the greatest health risks from COVID-19, a growing number of seniors suffer from hunger and isolation. SmartLinx wanted to help Meals on Wheels fulfill its mission of supporting seniors struggling with food insecurity and isolation.
“We are honored to support Meals on Wheels during these trying times. Every day we speak to senior care organizations striving to care for the most vulnerable members of society amid the pandemic. We believe every senior should have access to the nutrition and services they need and are thrilled to help in any way we can,” said SmartLinx Chief Customer Officer Mary Ann Mirto.
Before the pandemic hit, about 9.6 million seniors in the U.S. battled food insecurity and isolation. Local Meals on Wheels chapters have witnessed an average 47% increase in the demand for their support while 97% reported rising expenses.
