Ani-Meals

Spectrum Generations’ AniMeals program began over a decade ago when we learned that some Meals on Wheels recipients did not have enough money to feed their pets and were sharing their delivered food with their companion animals. We worked with local veterinarians and many generous community partners to offer AniMeals in conjunction with Meals on Wheels. 
 

Often, our Meals on Wheels consumers live in rural areas and/or are socially isolated; many have companion pets, who are a source of support, comfort and friendship. Research studies have found that people who have a pet have healthier hearts, make fewer visits to the doctor, get more exercise, and are less depressed. 

​

Spectrum Generations also relies on donations (monetary and food), grants, and ongoing support from Meals on Wheels America to sustain this program. For more information, contact the Nutrition Coordinator in your area.

Donations welcome! Financial support to our Nutrition Program is most helpful for AniMeals, so we can purchase pet food based on need.
