Lions Hear from Meals on Wheels Director

Gretchen Howe spoke of the organization's mission.

On Thursday night, the East Hampton Lions Club welcomed Gretchen Howe, the executive director of Meals on Wheels, to discuss that organization's not-for-profit mission to deliver lunches and hot dinners to those in the community who are homebound. 

Started in 1983, this Meals on Wheels chapter is independently funded through donations, with a very small amount coming from grants. Volunteers prepare and deliver the food to those in need.
