Taylored Systems and Meals on Wheels

Meals on Wheels is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to making sure seniors and shut-ins are provided with nutritious food. In Hamilton County alone, between 155 – 170 people need to have their meals delivered to their homes to avoid going hungry. Taylored Systems has signed up with Meals on Wheels to provide these meals to shut-ins around the Cumberland Road area of Fishers and Noblesville. Beginning in December of 2008, our employees have been donating their lunch hour two Mondays each month to pick up between 8 – 10 meals from Riverview Hospital and distribute them to the people on this particular route. The meals consist of a hot lunch and a cold dinner for each person so they will have food for the rest of the day.

To get involved with this worthy organization, two of our employees – Sarah Smith and Tom O’Brien – signed up for a ‘trial run’. They were approved as delivery people by Meals on Wheels and given a map outlining their assigned route. Riverview Hospital in Noblesville provides the food and coolers, which volunteers load into their vehicle. It’s a simple process, but makes a world of difference to the people who depend on organizations like Meals and Wheels to keep from going hungry. The employees at Taylored Systems are proud to volunteer their time for such a worthwhile endeavor.
