Lasagna Love is amazing, I received one last year n it was delicious!! So grateful to you as well Nicole for telling us about it. So easy n so incredibly kind.❤❤❤
This isn’t meals on wheels! I been saying for quite sometime that they have been delivering free government commodities since, The Pandemic in 2O20 through The Human Resources Services Office/ Community Services Deliver Them Theirselves!
@@sonyafox3271 If you have such issues towards people showing gratitude towards Cat & Nicole, why troll their channel?? Decent folks show gratitude towards them & those who also provide helpful experience. If you can't be kind, you're NO better than the government who keeps those like myself barely able to survive. Please lighten your heart, ~ Covah
This warmed my overwhelmed heart. Bless you dear *virtual daughter* for this video. To anyone viewing it....please consider it priceless & share! My own need for such generosity hit hard early last year. As someone who already barely leaves home & resides in a lovely yet very tiny town, I already knew isolation well. Once sleep studies showed lack of oxygen getting to my brain, I honestly felt like my only option would be to accept a spot in assisted living. So when my medical staff said even the crock pot was too risky in the event I had a seizure causing God only knows what might happen, it left me wondering how I'd manage to fill this vital need. The ONLY appliance I'm allowed to use is my microwave. It's still a risk, but at least it shuts off unlike the stove top/oven/or my beloved crock pot. As someone who has performed many of these tasks mentioned in this video with only a prayer & selfless heart...being told I'd have to find others to prepare meals for me ripped yet another stitch from what remains of my ever torn dignity. The multi-trauma I endured since a wee child became triggered, reminding me of the cruel adoptive family whose favored punishment was withholding food all because I spoke with a C. European accent & wrote with my left-hand. It was embarrassing that first afternoon when I queried my closest neighbors last June. All have similar financial & medical woes as myself. The ONLY light I saw during that time period was from healthier years of my own when I cooked for my children or nearby elders. I was able to drive so I'd also run errands for them/others in need...including delivery of food boxes and/or extra harvest from my own garden. I continue to suffer asking others for assistance because I'd grown up in a world where if I didn't do something, it just failed to get done...so I looked deep within my soul and found a solution which is very slowly starting to turn others *excess* into much more than I ever imagined. All I did was inquire if anybody had made too much food and could they spare some of it. Each well aware of my medical woes, {the downfall of close-knit neighbors.} One set of neighbors in particular, {empty nesters like myself} found my dilemma solved their own because both couldn't get used to cooking for 3 instead of 7 hungry individuals. More times than not...I end up with enough food to share. In turn, those people cooked or purchased food for me. Whether it be clearing out my own food stock, purchasing items for others to make abundant meals, and/or growing more food in our gardens...everybody has food. Everybody has benefited in some positive way. The grandest part is that shortly after this exchange began ...my neighbors started receiving *excess* game meat, produce, and other necessities from folks they have befriended. Oddly, none of it took place till my request for something the masses toss out on a daily basis. I still feel embarrassed by the inability to cook for myself and/or exchange my own *excess* meals for the hundreds they all have made for me. However, I'm slowly healing through these simple & selfless acts of others. So if you've learned anything positive from this novella of mine....it just might be what's missing in your own life or the life of those you love. I'd rather NOT have lack of O2 to my brain which is causing my seizures, but if this negativity of 1{me} has turned positive for dozens of others....it's a burden I'm willing to carry. Here's hoping this can be possible in other neighborhoods worldwide..preferably w/o severe health issues. Much love to all, ~ Covah
Thank you for sharing the information about Lasagna Love. Although the website said there was a 2 week wait in my area, it wasn’t that long. Mine was delivered today and it’s delicious! My provider was so kind. She even brought me a loaf of artisan French bread and a dessert. I live alone so this big pan of lasagna will feed me for many meals. I’m so grateful! I shared the information on my FB page.
I received a wonderful lasagne from LASAGNA LOVE once . The volunteer was such a nice woman and I offered a little tip at least for a bus ride but she refused. She surely made a great tasting lasagna and delivered. For that I bless her everyday. 🙏❤️
If you are able bodied and live near grocery stores like Aldi, you need to be dumpster diving. Channels like Freakin Frugal will teach you how to do it. You can’t rely on programs to get the food you need.
Many of us cannot do such things and WHY should we?? I personally think these corporations should be imprisoned for starving the masses. I don't want to rely on the govt. The govt refused to fix my *once operable, no longer operable* spinal cord. I'm happy you are so blessed. On the same token, I knew starvation as a toddler and it's lead to my distaste of Big Biz corporations 10 fold. Take care, ~ Covah
@@vulturewaterbug That as well. My only grocery store that gave expired produce freely...much of it still very edible....was told *by corporate* to lock said vessels. We might reside in the so-called "united states"......but we are nothing of the sort. Stay safe, ~ Covah
Meals on Wheels in my area charges and I have no discretionary money to spend. Even dry fasting & fasting, eating one meal a day, is not enough now, food prices are way too high. Thx Nicole, God bless you.
The Meals On Wheels here charges and will turn you down if you can't pay. The meals are very expensive and out of the means of most people. They should be government funded or seek donations so that everyone that qualifies will receive the meals that they need.
@@grandmaspocketbook Third comment saying this to which I reply that they advertise on tv & are always in the news snippets on helping the hungry. JERKS are in it for profit not charity!
@@lisajones-franklin3574 Thanks for sharing. It's so sad to read these *divided* comments on our so-called *united* country. It makes me feel twice as obligated to take elders aside in the tomato section and hand them my contact info so they can freely take what they'll eat from my miracle garden. If I could get my food pantry to help tend the other half of my useless lawn...hundreds more people could be fed local *no-chem* salad mixes as well as some of the exotic edibles I've been able to grow here.
Thank you for sharing the Lasagnalove program. I signed up just last week after viewing the video & knew I was on a "waiting list". I got a text Tuesday, the 13th & the couple delivered the lasagna last night & it was delicious. We had a big snow storm here in NY & I told them don't chance it, but they came. I & the kids put together a Care Package of Valentine candy & slices of Red Velvet cake as a thank you. They were surprised to receive it.
That is really sad to hear. Meals on Wheels where I'm at delivers to the Disabled, elderly, shut ins and it doesn't matter their ages. Low income also qualify for free, too. If people feel they can afford to give a free will donation, it's greatly appreciated.
@@DebLindley-xg8gz Your state's fortunate then. I inquired recently due to seizures and my inability to cook for myself. Not even my doctor could get them to lower their $9 *expected* price per meal. Seniors *must pay* $6 per meal. I was told my entire life that such program was as lovely as you say. I abhor liars & it hurt deeply when I learned the truth. No wonder elders go hungry. Take care, ~ Covah
I'm blessed to live in Ann Arbor, MI. We have Food gatherers here. They pick up food over stocked food from grocery stores and restaurants and then distribute it to multiple food banks and sites for free meals. A few food banks even deliver.
Happy to help! It's got a waitlist, but it seems like they always operate on a waitlist so hopefully it won't take too long to get that food to you. :) -Nicole
Wow I have to give you credit you do a lot of research you and staff are awesome! I have sent videos to f iends who needed my assistance that are low income you are saving me money teaching how to fish for themselves. Also I will order free lasagna
I live in NYC and its not always easy to get certain things. You would think it would be the opposite. Many things are limited by income so this info is good to know. BTW not to nitpick but ziti is pronounced zee tee. I live in the little Italy of the Bronx, they would look at me funny if I said it that way...LOL... Good content as usual 🎉
Trying to get my grown foster w/special needs out of your city for that very reason. When his Nana passes away, he'll be left out in the carnage. My town is very tiny & my state extremely rural. At least we're more sympathetic *meaning everyday folks/not so much agencies* of our citizens. In winter months it can reach -70F....normal temps for days on end are usually -40F, not including wind chills. Yet over the past decade we can reach 120F during our summer months....normal temps for days on end are usually 103-110F w/very little rain or we end up getting a torrential downpour with bullet-sized hail. Our weather's difficult for most, but the majority of folks find some way to help one another because we know our very lives depend on some type of neutral give/take. Yes, *zee-tee.* I'm an ex-wife of a well-known Mafia clan. Take care, ~ Covah
This is something our local pantry began asking about 5 yrs. ago & they try to accommodate those with allergies. You might need to ask yours directly. Best wishes, ~ Covah
I give so much credit to meals on wheels! I believe it's because of them, that my Dad with cancer, was able to prolong his life. I really am grateful for this program. Food was good too, I tasted several meals & was surprised at the flavor, texture & variety! So awesome ❤
Read others comments, including mine. Meals on Wheels *charges* for its meals....and refuses you a meal w/o payment in many areas. I have seizures and am no longer permitted to cook. Even with my doctor calling them, ours charges $9 per meal, $6 for elders. That's malevolent. Many blessings to the kindness your father was provided. Take care, ~ Covah
@@covahsmusicvault8953 I was surprised to hear that they charge an arm & a leg for their services, but now that I think about it, this might be where the church, a local Christian church that my Dad was not affiliated with at all, stepped in, played the middle man for the program (meals on wheels) that my Dad was able to have the opportunity & not have to worry about any financial responsibility or obligations what so ever. They even drove into the sticks to deliver them weekly. I really want to look into that now. 😥 I'm sry for the ones who have been hurt or rejected by these meals bcuz I can't deny that those meals really did add at least a year onto his life. 🕊️✌️💓
Nicole I’m curious, what TH-cam pay out tier are you on? Because you have a lot of seniors following you, thinking these benefits are actually available. They are not, I wish they were
Food distribution here in Milton Florida you have to have a car..I don't drive and people I know have already got riders going with them.. Don't understand why this became cars only after covid..Crazy ..
I got the most delicious gluten-free lasagna Saturday. I haven't had lasagna in YEARS. I have celiac disease, and gluten and soy are like kryptonite to my system.

I hope Meals on Wheels have upped their meals. My grandmother got MOW back in the 1990's and the food was disgusting!
It still is disgusting like prison food Such a sin to give such poor quality food to seniors and disabled Sad😢
In my area there is moms meals they are really good Medicaid and Medicare pays for it.
That's wonderful! Many states, including mine, charge horrific prices at Meals on Wheels. Thank you for sharing. (: ~ Covah
