Meals on Wheels marks a milestone

PROVIDENCE -- Meals on Wheels of Rhode Island is poised to deliver its 14 millionth meal today to a 79-year-old Providence resident who has received home-delivered meals for five years.

Operating since 1969, Meals on Wheels serves approximately 3,000 meals a day. About 38 percent of those who receive meals live alone, and 22 percent live in poverty, according to the nonprofit agency.

Today the two candidates for governor will join Sandy Centazzo, the president and CEO of Meals on Wheels of Rhode Island, to mark the milestone.
