Glenda Rogers Country Wheels

Once a week, our Country Wheels van driver delivers 7 frozen meals to older adults in remote, rural areas.  (Meals on Wheels and More provides a microwave oven to clients if they need one.)  All of our meals are designed by our Nutrition Services Director, a Registered Dietician, meet the goals of the Surgeon General’s Report on Nutrition and Health and provide one third of the daily recommended allowance of nutrients.

In addition to meals, the Country Wheels van driver also distributes nutrition education handouts.  Handouts include information on eating well during the holidays, understanding the value of eating fruits and vegetables, and maintaining a healthy heart.  Our Nutrition Services Director helps develop the nutrition education materials and approves them for distribution.  By providing nutrition education and nutritious meals, we aim to maintain and improve our clients’ health.

Our delivery areas for Country Wheels include: Bastrop, Lee, Travis, Fayette, Caldwell, Hays and Williamson Counties.
