Meals on Wheels (F.R.I.E.N.D.S.)

Georgia College and State University - GA, Georgia

Through coupling GC&SU students with the Baldwin County meal delivery service, this program identifies and monitors elderly population in Baldwin county by assessing nutritional and loneliness scales, healthcare issues related to safety in the home, education, and the need for community services. The project yields significant information necessary to implement outcome assessments, as well as establishing a beneficial connection between elderly community residents and student caregivers.
